Review by Eduardo Sainz

Så Går Det Till Om Julen by Bo Hallman: A Swedish Jazz Gem That Still Shines Alright, let’s talk about Så Går Det Till Om Julen—a jazz album that feels like sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire in 1936 Sweden. Yeah, you heard me right, 1936. This record came out way before most of us were even a twinkle in our grandparents’ eyes. Released under the Silverton label, it’s got that old-school charm with Bo Hallman leading the charge on vocals and an unnamed orchestra backing him up. It’s not perfect, but hey, who is? Now, I gotta say, this album has two tracks that really stick with you: Så Går Det Till Om Julen Potpourri Del 1 and Del 2. The first one kicks things off with a cozy vibe—you can almost picture snowy streets and people bundled up in wool sweaters. Bo’s voice? Smooth as butter, man. He doesn’t overdo it; instead, he lets the music breathe. There’s this gentle sway to the rhythm that makes you wanna lean back and just listen. And those horns? They pop in at all the right moments without stealing the spotlight. Then there’s Del 2, which flips the mood slightly—it’s peppier, more playful. You get the sense that Bo and the gang are having fun here. It’s less about being polished and more about capturing the joy of Christmas chaos (you know, the good kind). Honestly, these tracks remind me of family gatherings where everyone’s laughing too loud and someone’s sneaking extra cookies from the kitchen. It’s messy, warm, and full of heart. What’s wild is how this album manages to feel both dated and timeless. Sure, the recording quality isn’t exactly Spotify-ready, but that crackle and hiss? They add character. Like finding an old photograph tucked away in a drawer—it’s faded, sure, but it tells a story. Here’s the thing: listening to Så Går Det Till Om Julen made me realize something kinda funny. Back in 1936, folks probably didn’t think their holiday tunes would still be talked about nearly a century later. But here we are, diving into Bo Hallman’s world, imagining what life was like when jazz ruled the airwaves and Christmas meant gathering around a radio. Maybe that’s the magic of music—it connects us across time, even if we’re just guessing what “potpourri” actually means. Anyway, if you’re into vintage jazz or just curious about Swedish holiday vibes, give this one a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start craving gingerbread cookies halfway through.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Back in 1936, a Swedish jazz album called *Så Går Det Till Om Julen* came out. It was released on the Silverton label. The artist, Bo Hallman, handled the vocals, but here’s the twist—nobody knows who played in the orchestra! The album has two tracks, both part of a Christmas-themed potpourri. It’s like a musical mystery from nearly a century ago.
