Yes, they are. What people in Europe remember the most about him and his recordings are his Swedish folk songs recordings; especially "Jazz på Svenska" (Jazz in Swedish). And it's Johansson (not Johannson)

I love this - from two of the most frequent offenders. Welcome to Hypocrisy.com. A couple of years ago, I think it was, I decided to stop participating in this forum because of all the hate expressed on it. Not just, "I disagree with your opinion, because...", but outright pathological hatred toward anyone who expressed an opinion contrary to the prevailing popular one. Plus, flagrant lies being posted, unchallenged by anyone. I was away for a couple of years and recently thought I'd try it again. Bad move. The same assholes are doing 90% of the posting, egged on by their sycophantic handful of "fans." This recent Stan Getz thread was the final straw. Larry Kart and Allen Lowe, if you were men, you'd issue a profound apology to Bev Getz, but for obvious reasons that's not going to happen. To the hatemongers, who appear to have nothing better to do than write hundreds of offensive posts per year, think about getting some professional help before it's too late. To Bev Getz: Don't waste your time here - read Doug Ramsey's Rifftides, or Marc Myers' JazzWax, or Ted Gioia's Jazz.com. Enough; once again (not that anyone cares), I'm outta here.
