Sven Klangs kvintett (1976)
All Danes play dixie
25 April 2002 - 15 out of 16 users found this review helpful.
A drama/comedy about a Swedish dance band in the late 50's. The band gets a new member (a jazz saxophone player) who inspires some of the other band members to go in a more jazzy direction. Not taken to kindly by the leader, Sven Klang. Very funny but also with a deeper side. Some sources state that the main character is based on the Swedish baritone player Lars Gullin. This in not true, but the film coincides in many places with Gullins life. The film features some excellent altosaxaphone playing by Christer Boustedt. If your interested in music in general or jazz in particular, then this is definitely the film to see.
