Thanks to the existing collaboration
between Fagerdala Event / Gustavsbergs Hamn AB and Jan Lundgren, it
was natural for the dress rehearsal for the jointly produced solo
recital “History of Piano Jazz” in the autumn of 2006 to be held
in the old “chapel” in the so-called Gula Byggningen in the
harbour at Gustavsberg. This building is historic in its own right,
being the oldest building of the Gustavsberg Porcelain Works and the
original head office from the foundation of the firm in 1826.
In 2005, the Jan Lundgren/Georg Riedel
duo, which has since established a reputation as a “classic”
partnership, held a highly successful première in the Gula
Byggningen with a programme entitled “Jazz, ballads and folk
melodies” which later resulted in a disc called “Lockrop”
[Call] – another favourite among music critics.
The dress rehearsal of the “History
of Piano Jazz” at Gustavsberg was also recorded by the legendary
balance engineer Gert Palmcrantz and the result was so satisfactory
that it is being released as the project’s official CD, sold
exclusively in conjunction with the “History of Piano Jazz”
recitals.
