An instrumental piano trio that debuted 2015 with The Grand Dance. Band leader Petter Bergander writes songs that flirt with both jazz, Swedish folk music and soul.

Petter Bergander grew up in the small Swedish town Flen south of
Stockholm. There, at an auction in his local church community hall, he played his
first gig at the age of 10.

early access to instruments and practice venues through the open music schools
funded by local government, Kommunala Musikskolan. Invited by a teacher to take
part in once-a-week lunchtime jams, Petter made the discovery of his life: jazz. He toured for many years with Louise Hoffsten blues singer and harmonica player. singer-songwriter Amanda Jenssen, soul/funk artist Kaah.
In the early 2010s Bergander began a period of composing, pausing his pop-oriented
work to become more involved with the Swedish jazz scene again. He joined the world-famous Swedish trombone player and artistic director Nils Landgren as keyboardist in the Nils Landgren Funk Unit. In 2019 Petter Bergander Trio released their 2:nd album @Kierkegaard's Waltz
In 2023 Bergander received a two-year working grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee
