Vznik nordického konceptu ako predstupeň európskej jazzovej emancipácie a Slovensko – škandinávske väzby (1950 – 1970)
The jazz trends in the early 1950s showed that the concept of American cool jazz was inspirational for the Swedish scene, and that the sound and mood of Lennie Tristano’s, Miles Davis’, Stan Getz’s, and Paul Desmond’s music were in tune with Nordic feelings. Mutual interactions between American and Scandinavian jazz gave birth to the Scandinavian Jazz School. The School has built upon original cool jazz principles and become one of the important contributors to world jazz, progressively extending beyond Scandinavia. The so-called “Nordic sound” originated and developed through personal relationships with world-known American musicians, and was assisted, mainly since the 1970s, by the systematic endeavor of the ECM label; “Nordic sound” has been an example of a sustained ‘glocalization’ and globalization symbiosis.
