Swedish jazz musician Magnus Lindgren will give a show tonight at OnStage.

    Lindgren studied at the Vasteras Music College. He then attended the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in Stockholm, Sweden, and began working with the Soul Enterprise. He began playing with Herbie Hancock at age 18 and formed his current quartet in 1997. Among others, he has also worked with James Ingram, Koop, Barbara Hendricks, Gregory Porter, Nicola Conte, Marie Fredriksson and Ivan Lins. In 2001, Lindgren was voted best Swedish jazz artist of the year by Fasching. Lindgren has received numerous honors, including a Swedish Grammis, the Gyllene Skiva, the Gevalia Award and the Arne Domnerus Prize.

    Although known mainly playing the saxophone, clarinet and flute, Lindgren is a multi-instrumentalist, a skilled composer and an arranger. He was commissioned to write music for the Nobel Banquet in 2003.

    His album “Batucada Jazz” was released in spring 2009. It features Kiko Continentino on piano, Leonardo Amuendo on guitar, Armando Marcal and Pirulito on percussion with a guest spot by Nils Landgren. This selection is inspired by the samba orchestras that rehearse all year to appear at carnival time. “Batucada Jazz” was nominated for a Swedish Grammis.

    Lindgren has had considerable collaboration over the years with Landgren. During the spring of 2012, the two performed nine concerts together with Bohuslan Big Band and Wermland Operas Orchestra in the project “Folk Notes, Tunes and Jazz,” for which Lindgren arranged the music, conducted both orchestras, and performed as a soloist. Lindgren has arranged music for the Berliner Philharmoniker and their celebration of the Chamber Music Hall, in October 2012.

    His album “Fyra” was released in September 2012 and nominated for a Swedish Grammis. His new album “Souls” represents a departure for the dynamic Swedish musician, integrating vocal melodies into what has been largely an instrumental repertoire.
