About Bengt Hallberg

Hometown

Gothenburg, Sweden

Born

1932

Genre

Jazz

One of Sweden's top jazz pianists, Bengt Hallberg made his first trio recordings when he was 17. In the 1950s, he recorded with Lars Gullin, Arne Domnerus, and such traveling Americans as Clifford Brown, Stan Getz, and Quincy Jones. He worked as a member of the Swedish Radio Big Band (1956-1963), and, although in demand as a writer for films and television, Hallberg has continued playing jazz on a part-time basis (often with Domnerus and Karin Krog), mostly recording for Swedish labels such as Metronome, Sonet, and Phontastic. ~ Scott Yanow

Bengt Hallberg has also released music as a member of Trio Con Tromba, Bengt Hallberg Quartet, Bengt Hallberg Ensemble, Bengt Hallberg's Swedish All Stars, The Modern Swedes, and Expressens Elitorkester.
