Visa från Utanmyra

A mixed montage of photos and videos taken of Jan Johansson with the unforgettable music of Visa från Utanmyra. Pics and videos mostly were found on the Internet and some filling photos and clips made by me.

[@rogersundfors3363]

En av dom vackraste svenska melodier som finns, så rena och klara toner så ögonen tåras när man lyssnar på den...

[@atleabelsen]

Today, September 16 2021, Jan Johansson would have celebrated his 90th birthday. Happy birthday, Big Chief!

[@Nordmore68]

Jan Johanson gikk bort så alt for tidlig. Men vi fikk blant annet denne fantastiske og uforglemmelige versjonen av Visan från Utanmyra. Jeg blir rørt hver gang jeg hører den. Perfeksjon.

[@kimbranzell1655]

I've always said that if Sweden and us Swedes were a song, this would be it.

[@birgerro]

This is one of the nicest song i know. I heard it first time in my youth. Now 40 years later its still a favorite.

[@vasek1968]

That's exactly how I am with this. My father brought the record when he was in Sweden and I first heard it as a child. It has now became a part of me.

[@janedvinsson]

@@vasek1968 I like the video you made to this tune. To me it sounds like the original recording, the one from the LP, I suppose it is? I saw Jan Johansson live several times. A friend in Stockholm got free tickets to the Swedish Radio Jazz Group's recordings at the SR House and he gave us tickets to drive up 160 km up to Stockholm to sit in that studio and watch and listen, But I also saw Jan and George at the Concert House in Norrköping, that was around the area where I lived at that time in the late 60s Many jazz musicians in Sweden holds Jan Johansson very high...saying he is maybe the only really music genius we have had...jazz musician Arne Domnerus, saxophone player and bandleader used to say that.

[@vasek1968]

@@janedvinsson You are a lucky man to have seen (heard) him live! Yes, I used the original recording for the video. I love this music so much that my brother and I learned it and played it on my dad's 70th birthday (that was 10 years ago :-)). I start every day with this music as Visa från Utanmyra is the alarm sound on my mobile. 😊

Great! Thanks a lot! I've to mention, that one of my favourit in the Polish Jazz was Zbigniew Namyslowski. I've heard him (live) in Sopron (Hungary) and in Warsaw several years ago. Completely different, but he was able to lift me from the gray days :-)

Bassist Georg Riedel composed most of the music for the film adaptations that were based on children’s book author Astrid Lindgren’s literature.

[@vasek1968]

Wow, thank you very much for the addition! I had no idea that there was such a connection between George Riedel and Astrid Lindgren (ultimately Johansson and Lindgren). I am not familiar with the film, by the way. Pippi Longstocking was very popular in Hungary as a child and I think it still is.

[@jrgenpaghjensen2917]

Yes, but the famous theme for Pippi Longstocking was composed by Jan Johansson.

Oh, what memories from my childhood. This song recently started to appear to a commercial for Falu Rödfärg, the traditional paint behind all the Swedish red cottages, that also celebrates Sweden’s traditional culture. My late mom loved this song and often played his record. Can’t say I loved as a kid, but I do as an adult and it brings back scarce memories of my mother and I can almost feel her presence.

Sadness

[@janedvinsson]

Melancholy...I lived in the north of Sweden for a while when I was young and this captures the lonesome feeling deep down that I connect with this environment...I could not imagine it more accurate described and it is done without being too pretentious. The drummer Egil Johansen, that usually played with Jan, was not called for this recording, percussion would have prohibited the tones to fly and leave space for the silence to shape this atmosphere said Jan, and Jan spent extra time in the studio to get the right acoustics around these tunes on the album " Jazz In Swedish". As Arne Domnérus, Swedish saxophone player said, Jan Johansson is perhaps the only genius in music Sweden have ever had. The album is the most through time sold jazz album ever in Sweden....his two sons have a production enterprise and have made a remix of this album, and that is what is most common to find on youtube, this recording (the original) here is a scarcity to find on youtube; I do not like their remix of the album though, it does not ring true to the melancholy feeling that I can connect to for this environment. Too much "reverb" and too much saturation, that is not how I felt living in the north, not for me anyway, their remix feels artificial to me.

Verkligen en musikalisk hjälte

[@AndersJackson]

This is a great version. But if you want another Jazz version, this is one of the best with lyrics. Monica Zetterlund was the best. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnjNYamkgsyFqdk Also try her Swedish version of Waltz for Debbies, with Swedish lyrics by Beppe Wolgers become "Monicas vals": kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIW6cn-Qmtiki9E Or this modern version of "Visa från Utanmyra" by Wintergatan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2G4d6ajmtioars

[@vasek1968]

Dear Anders, thank you for the comments. I've already listened to the Monica Zetterlund version (I like it), but didn't know about the Wintergatan. Johansson is the man in my life who always keeps coming back. I don't know why. The Waltz for Debbies is a brilliant.

[@AndersJackson]

@@vasek1968 Yes, Monicas Vals is really good. The fun thing is that composer and his band played in the recording. Monica Z was really good singer.
