Paul Wagnberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul (Palle) Wagnberg (born 1961 in Norrköping, Sweden) is a Swedish-Norwegian jazz musician, mostly known for his jazz-organ playing. He also sings and plays the piano in addition to composing.

Since 1985 he has been playing professionally with his Hammond B3 organ. He is in particular known for his footwork on the bass pedals.[citation needed]

He is well-known for his membership in the Swedish-Norwegian jazz-quartet The Real Thing, consisting of Wagnberg on Hammond B3 organ, Staffan William-Olsson on guitar, Børre Dalhaug on drums and the late Sigurd Køhn on alto saxophone. The Real Thing is currently put on hold after Køhn died in 2004 in Thailand by the tsunami catastrophe.
