Tonight on Listening Lyrics, we head to Sweden – a land better known for forests, Volvos, ABBA, winter nights, and great design, but also home to a remarkable jazz and blues tradition. Swedish jazz often blends cool elegance, folk melodies, and deep atmosphere, while Swedish blues brings heartfelt grit with a Scandinavian twist.

From smoky clubs in Stockholm to late-night festivals across the country, Sweden has long proven that soul and swing need no passport. So settle in – this is Swedish jazz and blues.
