Swedish jazz and world music label has updated their fall schedule: https://www.countryandeastern.se/?p=2540
Highlights include a string of live recording dates for Befive (feat. the incredible lineup of Bengt Ernryd, Jonas Knutsson, mats Öberg, Christian Spering and Bengt Berger) in mid-September plus a new album fromPer Tjernberg, aka Per Cussion -- the dude who released the very first Swedish rap record back in 1983. Of course his solo work under his given name is a m>bitm> different, but it's good to know he's still around making music.

Way too reminiscent of the horrible late-90s swing revival for me to recommend it (see: Squirrel Nut Zippers et al, or actually: m>don'tm>), but maybe some of you youngsters might have a different point of view about this Swedish duo.
