Johan Hedin

New duo with Ida Meidell Blylod & Johan Hedin

Ida Meidell Blylod and Johan Hedin first met during EBU live broadcast concert Aurora Bachealis arranged by Stockholm Early Music Festival for REMA:s European Day of Early Music in 2015. As a duo, they premiered in the summer of 2019 at the Korrö Folk Music Festival in Sweden with a concert that was acclaimed for it’s distinctive sound and personal interpretation of Swedish traditional music and it’s connection to baroque music.

They enjoy making music together and thrive off each others musical backgrounds, both being part of a living tradition where a musician is also an arranger and composer, as well as interpreting old music.

Austrian Radio Writes About Bazar Blå

Musik aus allen Richtungen mit Albert Hosp. Schwedischer Feinkost-Bazar. Das schwedische Trio “bazar blå” wird 20

Ein Jazz-Trio, das neben den zu erwartenden Instrumenten Bass & Schlagzeug ausgerechnet eine schwedische Nyckelharpa zentral ins Klangbild stellt?

Anno 1996 wurde das noch als zumindest ungewöhnlich, wenn nicht exotisch, gar skurril rezipiert. Doch mit einer gewissen gelassenen Beständigkeit lieferten Björn Meyer (Bass), Fredrik Gille (Schlagwerk) und Johan Hedin (nyckelharpa) musikalische Arbeit höchster Qualität, die ihre Besetzung mehr als rechtfertigt.

Schlicht “twenty” heißt ihr aktuelles Jubiläums-Album. Sie sind zwar alles andere als Weltstars geworden, gehören aber zu den vielen MusikerInnen Schwedens, die ihr Dasein zwischen allen Stühlen doch recht fröhlich fristen. Und Johan Hedin gehört weltweit zu den gefragtesten Nyckelharpa-Meistern.
