Eje Thelin • So Far

 

Eilert Ove "Eje" Thelin (9 June 1938 – 18 May 1990) was a Swedish jazz trombonist.
Thelin, who was self-taught as a musician, started playing with the dixieland group Pygmé Jazz Band, and later joined the sextet of Putte Wickman. Influenced by Miles Davis among others, he then moved towards modern jazz. Thelin led his own quintet from 1961 until 1965, touring in Europe on several occasions.

Disillusioned with the Swedish jazz scene, Thelin moved to Austria in 1968, where he taught at the Academy of Music in Graz, while also performing free improvised music with a group led by himself and Joachim Kühn in several European countries. After returning to Stockholm in 1972, he led his own Eje Thelin Group in Sweden for the rest of the 1970's, moving towards jazz fusion and experimenting with electronics. Thelin would later mainly devote himself to composing and performing as a soloist.

During his career, Thelin performed and collaborated with Roy Brooks, Graham Collier, Palle Danielsson, Joe Harris, Joachim Kühn, Evan Parker, George Russell, John Surman and Kenny Wheeler.

Eilert Ove «Eje» Thelin (9 de junio de 1938 - 18 de mayo de 1990) fue un trombonista de jazz sueco.
Thelin, que fue músico autodidacta, empezó a tocar con el grupo de dixieland Pygmé Jazz Band, y más tarde se unió al sexteto de Putte Wickman. Influido por Miles Davis, entre otros, se decantó entonces por el jazz moderno. Thelin dirigió su propio quinteto desde 1961 hasta 1965, y realizó varias giras por Europa.

Desilusionado con la escena jazzística sueca, Thelin se trasladó a Austria en 1968, donde impartió clases en la Academia de Música de Graz, al tiempo que interpretaba música de improvisación libre con un grupo dirigido por él mismo y Joachim Kühn en varios países europeos. Tras regresar a Estocolmo en 1972, dirigió su propio Eje Thelin Group en Suecia durante el resto de la década de 1970, orientándose hacia el jazz fusión y experimentando con la electrónica. Más tarde, Thelin se dedicaría principalmente a componer y actuar como solista.

A lo largo de su carrera, Thelin tocó y colaboró con Roy Brooks, Graham Collier, Palle Danielsson, Joe Harris, Joachim Kühn, Evan Parker, George Russell, John Surman y Kenny Wheeler.
