Made in Sweden

'70's Music with Legends Tommy Körberg, Georg "Jojje" Wadenius & Norrbotten Big Band
When the super group Made in Sweden was formed in 1968, the combination of jazz and rock was groundbreaking, and the album Made in Sweden with Love was a success, winning a "Grammis" (the Swedish equivalent of a Grammy). The group also performed several concerts at the Gyllene Cirkeln in Stockholm where one of their seven albums was recorded.

Guitarist Georg "Jojje" Wadenius contributed most of the compositions, and live performances consisted of improvisations around a number of chords. Tommy Körberg sat in with the group on several occasions before "Jojje" left the group for Blood, Sweat & Tears.

During his time in the USA, Georg "Jojje" Wadenius also played with, among others, Simon & Garfunkel, Diana Ross, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. At home in Sweden, however, he is known equally well for the music to Barbro Lindgren's lyrics-- the children's songs on the album Goda' goda' from 1969.

When Wadenius returned to Sweden in 1976, Made in Sweden was revived for a short while. At that time, Tommy Körberg also became a permanent member and was on the group's last album, Where Do We Begin.

"Tommy Körberg is a legend on the Swedish music scene and his way of phrasing a song is unique in the whole world. Furthermore, he is something more special than a pure jazz or blues singer," according to Håkan Broström. 

"There will be room for both a nostalgic retrospective and new creativity at the same time, when legends Georg "Jojje" Wadenius and Tommy Körberg meet the Norrbotten Big Band in Made in Sweden," says Håkan Broström.
