Sveriges Jazzband

Swedish jazz orchestra formed in Stockholm in 1955 by Eddie Bruhner. With Gösta Linderholm at the helm, the group developed into a show band, their performances contained many humorous antics. The band appeared a lot on TV during the 1970s and was a recurring feature in Ulf Thorén's program Hvar fjortonde dag. Linderholm left the band in 1974 to pursue a solo career, but has occasionally returned as a guest artist.
