Jan Johansson - Leksands skänklåt ("Treasures of the Forest")

Things you may find in the forest...


Music: Jan Johansson (1931-1968) piano, Georg Riedel bass
"Leksands skänklåt" from Jazz på svenska.

The piece is based on a traditional theme from the landscape of Dalarna (Sweden) and supposed to have been played at weddings while the guests handed over their gifts to the couple.

Art: Elsa Beskow (1874-1953) from "The Sun Egg"

I thank the artists for the content and hope nobody will mind.. :)

I think this particular version is from the 2005 CD "Svenska Folklåtar" which is basically "Jazz in Swedish" + 4 bonus tracks (alt. versions of "Leksands Skänklåt" and "Emigrantvisa" amongst others).
