ISKRA

From 1970 to 1992, ISKRA was Scandinavia’s foremost group for free improvised music. They made fanciful, unpredictable, uniquely personal music that transgressed all genre boundaries. ISKRA’s music was built on collective improvisation, and the arsenal of instruments used was limitless.

Apart from giving regular concerts, ISKRA also produced workshops for children and adults. The group gave many performances for radio and TV, and released four LP albums and one CD.

In the autumn of 2003 original ISKRA members Jörgen Adolfsson, Tuomo Haapala, Sune Spångberg and Arvid Uggla reunited at Café Aguéli in Stockholm for a spontaneous casual concert. The music was recorded and is now released on this Country & Eastern CD.
