Flasket Brinner Flasket Brinner 1971 full album
"Fläsket Brinner" ("The Pork Burns") were a Swedish group from the 1970s that released a couple of albums and had ties to Bo Hansson, one of the most well-known musicians both in his homeland and abroad—so much so that, during a break from his European engagements, even Jimi Hendrix wanted to play with him in Stockholm and recorded one of his songs, "Tax Free," which appeared on some bootlegs.
Their first self-titled album was released in 1971 and is an entirely instrumental live record, made up of jazz-rock, heavy rock, and psychedelic jam sessions, with some folk tracks played in a rather free form, one of which on the B-side of the LP was "Bosses Låt," featuring Bo Hansson himself on the Hammond organ. The band included Gunnar Bergsten on saxophone, Sten Bergman on keyboards, Per Bruun on bass, Erik Dahlback on drums, and Bengt Dahlén on guitar.
Some bands that can be associated with them are "Deep Purple" and Frank Zappa's "Mothers of Invention" (one of their inspirations, to the point that they opened for his concert).
To describe their music, one cannot fail to emphasize the strong jazz influence, partly because it's instrumental and also because it's based on improvisation—in short, a mix of rock, jazz, folk, and prog music with an unmistakable, unique, recognizable, clear, and personal sound.
