    Nacka Forum

    Swedish jazz group, formed in 1999 by Jonas Kullhammar, Goran Kajfeš, Kjell Nordeson and Johan Berthling. The disc debut took until 2002, and was strongly received by Swedish critics. In addition, there was a big commotion in the sports supplements when a song on the record was named "Zlatan". A Grammy nomination as well as top positions on the evening papers' best of the year lists was a consequence of it all. In 2005 came the sequel Leve Nacka Forum, which also received a lot of attention and was released in a limited edition on vinyl. In 2012, the album Fee Fi Fo Rum was released, also on the record company Moserobie. With a cover by Joakim Pirinen and a guest performance by guitarist Reine Fiske. Shortly after that, Danish drummer Kresten Osgood took over the drum chair in the band and a live album was recorded in Tokyo with free jazz legend Akira Sakata as a guest. The album was only released in a small vinyl edition. Subsequently, the studio album We Are The World was recorded at the Moserobie studio. The cover for that record was designed by Swedish-Canadian art director Martin Kann. Members: Goran Kajfeš - Trumpet Jonas Kullhammar - Saxophone Johan Berthling - Bass Kjell Nordeson - Drums (1998–2013) Kresten Osgood - Drums (2013–present)
