New video: Trout Slap

Me and Fred went seatrout fishing a couple of days ago. It was a very strange evening! Right after the trip and a couple of beers later Trout Slap was born. To be watched with a glass of well chilled rosé wine. Enjoy! Music: Whistling: Katson Autiota Hiekkarantaa by Veikko Samuli/Juha “Watt” Vainio/Katri Helena Bossa… Read more »

Silver bars and organ pipes

This week I was playing some gigs in old churches in Sweden. Nice, acoustics and beautiful buildings and surroundings. We played some folk tunes, classical themes and hymns, all arranged for a jazz trio. I of course brought my camera and took some photos along the way. When I got home I went fishing for… Read more »

New video: Focus

Here’s a short film from a trip a couple of weeks back. One man, one camera, one fish, one situation. Plus some experimenting with the out-of-focus shapes with different lenses. Music by Jazz & Fly Fishing. Enjoy! Focus from Jazz & Fly Fishing on Vimeo.

Big Mayflies, Big Trout and Big Horses

  Ahhh. Sometimes, life above the arctic circle is just so… good. Sunny weather, green fields, snowcapped mountains, and huge amounts of Ephemera vulgata mayflies hatching. What more can you ask for?

Friday Jazz: Goran Kajfes "Sand Boogie"

In 2010, the brilliant Swedish trumpeter/composer Goran Kajfes released a great album called X/Y. The opening track, called Sand Boogie, is a real knockout: it has one of… Read more »

Stomach Flu in Gothenburg

Hellau! Just back from Gothenburg, where we recorded the soundtrack for our upcoming DVD (working title: Season 2 – F***ed for Life) and did some additional shooting – interviews and such. Despite Fredrik and me getting sick with some kind of stomach flu that we probably got from Joona (thanks, man!), we were highly productive… Read more »

Friday Jazz: John Coltrane Quartet "Resolution" Live!

Hi, and happy new year! Let´s be honest: January sucks. At least in the northern hemisphere. It´s cold and boring. And at 68°26.3028′ N, where I´m sitting as I´m writing this, it´s pretty damn dark, too. And everybody´s flat broke, hung over and fat after Christmas´ insane excesses. Well, at least things are moving in… Read more »
