”One of our musical heroes,Georg ”Jojje” Wadenius has sadly passed away. He was just amazing. Like many in my generation I first got aware of him due to ”Kalles klätterträd”, an animated Swedish children’s cartoon that was broadcasted in the mid 70’s. It’s a perfect display of Jojje’s musicality and taste. His trademark "sing-along-with-guitar solo” heavily featured. I loved that track, and still do. In fact I’ve played it to my daughters during their upbringing. They can still ask me to play it, and it will 100% generate huge smiles on their faces when I do. Later on in life, when I got into progressive rock, I found that Jojje turned out to be quite the prolific musician in that genre as well. Made in Sweden is one of my favorite domestic bands of all time, and their "Where do we begin” is a fantastic record! On top of that Jojje was part of fusion/prog supergroup Solar Plexus and participated on the classic debut Lp by Pugh Rogefeldt ("Ja, dä ä dä”) together with Janne Carlsson on drums. As I’m writing this I suddenly realize that all 3 of these formidable musicians has now passed on. Jojje continued to build up an impressive international career, with the in-house band for Saturday night, Blood Sweat & Tears and sessions with the likes of James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Simon & Garfunkel, Robert Plant and Steely Dan. Both me and Fredrik met him a few times over the years. He was super friendly and interested in us ”kids”. Fredrik met him several times and hung out with him at a guitar clinic here in Stockholm (see photo), and I know Fred shares my admiration for Mr. Wadenius. In closing I’d like to express our collective gratitude for the abundance of fantastic music he’s gifted to us all. He was truly inspirational. Jojje will be sorely missed!
