Sven Klang’s Kvintet

2-5-1- field trip notes

We went to the Barbican during the London Jazz Festival in November 2023 and watched a screening of this film. There was an introductory talk and the Black and white movie was projected on a good sized screen. In brief the plot is a function band lead by Sven Klang is joined by a really good Sax Player and his addition causes big changes in the band. It is about the human interactions within the group and both of us were very impressed with the way the playing is captured really well.

" Sven Klang's Combo (Swedish: Sven Klangs kvintett) is a 1976 Swedish musical drama film directed by Stellan Olsson. The film was based on a 1974 play by Musikteatergruppen Oktober, and was shot in Ängelholm and Höganäs. At the 13th Guldbagge Awards it won the Special Achievement award. In 2012 it was voted one of the 25 best Swedish films of all time"
