Biography

Bengt Hallberg (born 13 September 1932) is one of Sweden’s most influential jazz musicians. He studied classical piano from a very early age, and at 13 years old he wrote his first jazz arrangement. In 1949 he recorded with the Swedish alto saxophonist Arne Domnérus for the first time, an association which has continued. In the 1950s Hallberg played with leading visiting American players, including the trumpeter Clifford Brown and the tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and also Quincy Jones.[1][2]

Hallberg has a very versatile style and in his later years he has written music for film and television, as well as choir arrangements. He also plays the accordion.
