influence after hearing the Beatles. He refined his technique under London

Ulf Wakenius. Almqvist collaborated with pianist Horace Parlan on Peter Almqvist
Trio with Horace Parlan (1997), and issued My Sound in 2000. He toured with Art
Farmer, worked with violinist Svend Asmussen, and passed away on 6 April 2015.
