About Ulf Sandström (pianist)

  • Ulf Gustaf Sandström (born 18 August 1964) is the foremost representative in Sweden of piano playing and composing in the traditions of boogie-woogie, with a lot of New Orleans flavour.

  • He was taught piano at four in Hungary by the methods of Zoltán Kodály, which focus on learning by ear.

  • The group has toured since 1992, backing artists like "Frogman" Henry, Albert King, The Drifters, Tommy Ridgley and James Wheeler.
