Swedish organist and Hammond master (b.1943, d. 2010), most famous for his solo records, Magician’s Hat, The Lord Of The Rings, Attic Thoughts and Watership Down. In the mid 70’s he played with Janne Carlsson (aka Loffe Carlsson) in duo Hansson & Karlsson. He also made several hours of recordings with Jimi Hendrix who much appreciated the humble Swedish organist.

Bo Hansson is said to have donated his Hammond organ (did he have only one?) to Eric Malmberg of Sagor & Swing, a band that have continued in the tradition of Hansson & Karlsson.

    Also late to hear of Bo's death...for shame. But will be happy to hear more of his legacy, Attic Thoughts has fine fine music on there.

    Realized I had "the Lord of the Rings" on cassette. Now it gets back to me. I think I listened to the music mostly because I read the books back in high-school.... But I never recalled how good the music actually is.
