Nils Landgren

Nils Landgren is one of the world?s great trombonists, and enjoys both sophisticated chamber jazz and straight out party music, seemingly in equal measure. A cursory review of Swedish record label ACT?s extensive catalog turns up performances by Landgren on recordings by Rigmor Gustafsson, Esbjorn Svensson, Wolfgang Haffner, and many others. He?s also worked, recorded, and/or toured with The Crusaders, Eddie Harris, Bernard Purdie, and Herbie Hancock.
