Inaugurating Lasse Färnlöf’s place
Saturday aug 27 saw the inauguration of Lasse Färnlös’s place in Västerås, Sweden. Lasse (1942-94) was one of the most influential jazz composers/musicians in Sweden during the 60’s through the 80’s. Now he’s got his own square in his hometown, Västerås. For the last couple of years I’ve come to know his son, Jonas. We’ve played several gigs together and have worked together in my THE SONIC E project. The other day he phoned me to play on this occasion. I was very honored to get the opportunity to perform in honor for the great musician, Lasse. It was loads of fun and the square was crowded as we blasted out Lasses “Boutique Sandhamn” together with the great trio Bicycle Beat from Stockholm and Jonas son Aslan. Thanks Jonas, Aslan, Bicycle Beat and last but not least Lasse Färnlöf!
