Bobo Stenson (born Bo Gustav Stenson; 4 August 1944) is a Swedish jazz pianist. The Bobo Stenson Trio, formed in collaboration with Anders Jormin (bass) and Jon Fält (drums), has been in existence for four decades.^[1][2]

For 15 years, starting at the age of eight, Stenson studied with pianist and professor Werner Wolf Glaser, a Jewish refugee from Cologne.^[1]

In 1963, Stenson emerged from the local scene in Västerås and began playing frequently in Stockholm, where he accompanied a long line of visiting American players, including Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz and Gary Burton. He also worked closely with Don Cherry from the beginning of the trumpeter's residency in Scandinavia.^[1][3]

The 1970s was an intensive period for Stenson, who played in many groups, including the long-standing band Rena Rama with Palle Danielsson, and a trio with Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen. Later he played with Jan Garbarek. In 1988, Stenson joined the Charles Lloyd quartet. Since 1996 Stenson has appeared at major jazz festivals with Tomasz Stańko's septet and sextet.^[4][5]
