Fellow Swedish Folk Music Enthusiasts,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the completion and availability
of a new title in my Swedish Folk Music Treasures series. This volume,
the eighth in the series, focuses on Mats Andersson, born in 1941.
Playing with him is his long-time student, Jonas Isaksson. Mats and
his clarinet has nurtured and furthered the tradition and legacy of
his mentor, the legendary Uppland clarinet player Curt Tallroth. Curt
in turn, got his tunes from the older players before him, such as Abel
and Henrik Eriksson and August Frank. In passing these tunes on to
Jonas, the musical thread remains unbroken and continuous. Mats was
recognized as a riksspelman (Zorn Silver) back in 1971 and in 2003 he
was tapped for the highest honor a Swedish folk musician can receive-
the Zorn Gold. Jonas earned the Zorn Silver medal in 2005.

The title joins my seven previous volumes: Nisse Nordström
(nyckelharpa), Tore Lindqvist (fiddle), Hasse Gille (nyckelharpa),
Styrbjörn Bergelt (silverbasharpa), Sture Sahlström (nyckelharpa),
Anders Liljefors (fiddle & nyckelharpa), and Bosse Larsson (fiddle).

This ongoing project of mine is an entirely personal effort; there are
no angels in the wings providing assistance of any sort. In short, I
wear all the hats. For more information about this title or any of the
others, I invite you to visit my website:

Sincerely,

Rita Leydon

P.S. If for any reason you do not wish to receive future announcements
about my projects I will gladly remove you from my mailing list ...
just send me an email request. Poof!
