Eje
Thelin (born Eilert Ove Thelin) (June 9, 1938 - May 18, 1990) was an innovative
Swedish trombonist, widely admired among fellow trombonists for his facile
technique and rhythmic intensity. He was, perhaps, the first jazz trombonist to
translate that technique into the so-called "sheets of sound" style
that characterized much of the music of tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and, in
general, Free Jazz of the late 1960s and 1970s.
Thelin
started his own quintet in 1961. From 1969 to 1972 he was on the faculty of the
Music Academy in Graz, Austria. For the rest of the 1970s, he led his own Eje
Thelin Group in Sweden. In the 1980s he expanded into composition, writing
commissioned works for large European orchestras, sometimes featuring himself
as soloist. In spite of the attention given to the obvious technical side of
his playing, Thelin was also known for his warm approach to traditional
ballads, a somewhat retro-romanticism that comes through in his later playing.
