Oskar Schönning is associated with a filmic and romantic take on modern Scandinavian jazz. The name refers both to a band and a person. Starting out as a trio in the northern Swedish town Östersund in 2002, Anders Kronlund played the dobro, Emil Strandberg played the trumpet, and Oskar Schönning played the double bass. On the debut album in 2004, Jonas Östholm joined on piano along with Nils Berg on clarinets and Sebastian Voegler on drums.
These three musicians later formed a new core in the orchestra, recording albums such as "Happy Jazz," "Please," "Puerto," "Belgrade Tapes," and "The Violin." On the album "Vykort," Schönning continued an earlier collaboration with Swedish writer and singer Annika Norlin and with artist Anja Bigrell. This album also featured Schönning (the person) in a more multi-instrumental role, playing the guitar along with other instruments and samples.
This led to the ongoing project "Music for Others," where Oskar plays and records the music by himself and then invites other people for remixes, live performances, films, etc.
