My dad around 19 years old.He also played music, mostly famous around the world for his song: "Pippi Longstocking" and for playing with Stan Getz among others.
Here in Sweden he recorded several albums under his own name.
One still holds the record for the most selling Swedish jazz album out of all times. It's not really pure jazz but Swedish folk-melodies in instrumental piano versions.

Scandinavia/Europe.

A very talented man. Such a shame he died so young, and was not around to be there for you as you grew up. As a family you seem to have inherited his musical gene. As the saying goes, The best always die young, and in this case its true, as he had a huge talent.
