International relevance: *
Kjell Öhman was a keyboard player who
cut his teeth with lightweight instro band The Telstars in the mid
60s shortly before releasing his first solo album in 1966. He later
turned to studio work including Robert Broberg, Nailband and Bengt-Arne Wallin, but kept releasing albums under his own name
off and on on the side. ”Misturada” is from 1975 and a marginal
inclusion here as the style is too diverse, ranging from solo piano
jazz to samba inflected numbers and muzak fusion. It's the fusion
tracks that pushed ”Misturada” over the blog edge. They're
unfortunately not good with the possible exception of the Alphonse
Mouzon penned ”The Funky Waltz” which is slightly reminiscent of
a lighter pre-Headhunters Herbie Hancock. The album features Mads Vinding and Ed Thigpen among others, and has a sleeve design by Lasse Åberg.
