Jan Johansson was a Swedish jazz pianist. He is little known outside Scandinavia and his records are not widely available, though Jazz på svenska has sold more than a quarter of a million copies, and is the best selling jazz release ever in Sweden, and has been streamed more than 10 million times on Spotify. He was the father of former HammerFall drummer Anders Johansson and Stratovarius keyboardist Jens Johansson, who nowadays run Heptagon Records which keeps their father's recordings available.
