7. Jonas Hellborg, Jens Johansson, Anders Johansson






Jonas, Jens and Anders grew up very close to each other and although being aware of each other’s talent and existence never had a chance to play together until after Jonas stint with Mahavishnu and Jens and Anders legendary work with Yngwie Malmsteen.
Moving to New York at roughly the same time the 3 had ample time to work together on a number of Hellborg composit time signature compositions, inspired equally by Indian rhythm metrics and the works of Bela Bartok. After a tour the three settled in to the newly opened Greenpoint complex and recorded “E” as a document to this very creative period before Jens set of to join “Dio” and Anders “Blue Murder”.
