Sven-Åke Johansson (born 1943 in Mariestad, Sweden) is one of the style-defining drummers of the German free
jazz era of the 1960s and 1970s. From the 1980s onwards, he pursued an artistic path largely independent of institutions and groups as a music performer in the circles of fine arts and new music. Among other things, more than fifty record releases, a number of music theatre pieces, radio
plays, pictorial works and a lively touring life are among his oeuvre.
