Arild Staffan Möller (born March 26, 1955 in Malmö ) is a Swedish multi-instrumentalist , jazz and world musician and composer .

Act

Möller began his musical career as a jazz trumpeter modeled on Clifford Brown and worked in the Kabaréorkestern , where he also accompanied Thomas Miehe. After the bouzouki player Christos Mitrencis had met, he turned to the Greek music and worked with Mikis Theodorakis together. In the 1980s and 1990s he became one of the central figures in the rediscovery of Swedish folk music, particularly in the Dalarna province . In addition to five albums with his group Filarfolket , he released several of his own albums during this time, but also accompanied Mari Boine ( Gula Gula ).

He turned to world music with his improvisation group Enteli (1985–95). His duo albums with Lena Willemark for ECM were also shaped by the combination of folk and improvisation music , first Nordan (1993) with reinterpretations of medieval songs, then Agram (2016), which had a great impact.

With Willemark and the fiddle player Per Gudmundson , Möller founded the group Frifot in 1987 , which has also released several albums since the 1990s; their album Sluring (2003) was awarded the Manifest Prize and nominated for a Grammis . After founding the Stockholm Folk Music Big Band as a world music orchestra with fourteen musicians from different parts of the world with Jonas Knutsson in 1998 , he founded the Ale Möller Band , a multicultural sextet whose debut album Bodjal (2003) received a Grammis.

In his project Oerhörda röster (unbelievable voices), founded in 2010, the singers Christian Zehnder , Wimme Saari , Kristina Hansson , Hosoo and Svante Drake performed with him and his band . His latest project is the world music jazz group Xenomania . Möller also composed film and drama music, works for symphony, chamber and wind orchestras and was artist in residence at the concert halls of Gävle and Vara.
