It was intended as a joke, that you could post that anywhere, because you know nothing of the topic. It failed as yuo didn't understand! BTW why post in a topic if you know nothing????????? Irritating that is!

Have just berated others on a keyboard thread for not looking/listening beyond the obvious suspects, I thought I better put my money where my mouth is, and just ordered some more Johansson bros material:

Johansson, Johansson, Holdsworth's Heavy Machinery is an ass kicking blowout, but you may want to check out his acoustic trio with Ginger Baker and Jonas Hellborg, Unseen Rain. Awesome. |

The Johnassons are sons of a notable Swedish jazz pianist of the 60's Jans Johansson, which explains some of their range. There is one website which states Jonas Hellberg rescued the Johansson brothers from the mediocrity of Yngwie Malmsteen - too right, although YM's Inspiration's stands head and shoulders above the rest of his catalogue IMHO. (And I can only assume the mediocrity or worse of Stratovarious, is paying JJ's pension?). Hellberg used both Johanson brothers together and separately for a number of his experimental bands at the end of the 80's and early 90's and can be heard on record (mostly the Hellberg owned Day Eight Music label, and a few on the Johnasson's Heptagon label - both labels are Swedish based) . Danbo cites the excellent, acoustic set Unseen Rain with Ginger Baker as leader. Two very different sides of a coin musically are The Jonas Hellberg Group : 'E' - power Hammond organ lead trio (which tends to make Niacin sound like a palm court trio in comparison) and the near-perfect metal thrash on The Shining Path's No other World - same line-up plus vocalist but completely different music. The two albums the brothers did with jazz rock guitarists Heavy Machinery (Holdsworth) and Fission (with Mike Stern and the late Shawn Lane) are amongst the best. However, the little known (and to me unpronounceable) Fjäderlösa Tvåfotingar , puts Johnansson into the superleague. I love both the albums he did with Mastermind (and differ from each other considerably) Excelsior! - the Mahavishnu one - and Angels Of The Apocalypse (more the ELP one). And be surprised at Ander Johansson's drum skills on his solo album Red Shift - does his own Black Page, but every track is different and multi-cultural (and Hellberg and Jens appear on a few too). To my ears, listening across a fullish range of Jens Johansson's recordings, the major keyboard player emerges (alas there too many better known inferior recordings), and I would propose he has the class and range of Jan Hammer. I may have a home-made sampler of the Johanssons if you contact me separately. http://www.panix.com/~jens/parse.cgi/records.par - http://www.panix.com/~jens/parse.cgi/records.par |
