Thank you for this thread! I am from Sweden, started to listen to jazz 3 years ago ( at the age of 70! ) and I love it. It is good to get recommendations.
I love the swedish altosaxophonist Arne Domnerus. You probably know him from ”Jazz at the Pawnshop” but he has made many albums as good or better than JATP!
Here are 4 good examples:

 


I also like the TVseries Bosch based on the novels of Michael Connelly! He has a nice stereosetup and plays jazz! Here I found a new artist for me; Frank Morgan. I just love the album Mood Indigo. Connelly has made a DVD of his life ”Sound of redemption” which I unfortunately am not able yo find here in Sweden.
I also love Chet Baker and a special favorite is the album ”No Problem” recorded in Copenhagen.

Then you know one of the great creative jazz pianist : Jan Johansson... Almost  unknown in North America ...

Sure, he is great! ”Jazz på svenska” ( Jazz in swedish ) is fantastic!
