	Interview with STRATOVARIUS :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 12
		Jens Johansson: I think what [Timo Tolkki] was thinking was that there are a lot of problems with religions, like wars.
		Jens Johansson: The only way we might do that is if we sample the stuff and trigger it while you play.
		Jens Johansson: I think that part of the problem is that it's very difficult to compete with the big companies here in the States.

	Stratovarius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The release of Fourth Dimension in 1995 was a great success, but internal differences in the band, particularly of the style the band was going for, prompted the departure of long-time drummer Tuomo Lassila and keyboardist Antti Ikonen.
		Two new non-Finnish members were recruited: Swedish keyboardist Jens Johansson, of Yngwie Malmsteen fame; and German drummer Jörg Michael.
		Tolkki hired a new singer, Katriina "Miss K" Wiiala, and Anders Johansson of Hammerfall (Jens's brother) temporarily on drums.

	Interview with Jens Johansson
		Jens Johansson is the keyboard guy that got snatched away from the rather unknown Swedish band Silver Mountain by a slightly more known Swede by the name of Yngwie J. Malmsteen when he went solo after leaving Alcatrazz in 1984.
		Jens, one of a handful of the finest keyboard players in the world (with Kevin Moore, Tony McAlpine and Rick Wakeman I suppose), is still very much active in the music business, although not as obvious as he used to be.
		Jens: Raise the average IQ of the planetary population by 100, extend the average life span for humans human to 900 years, make interstellar travel cheap, and readily available.

	Through Different Eyes : Johansson : The Last Viking
		Jens tasty keys is everywhere on this cd.
		The drumming of Anders Johansson is as always faultless, being both powerful and playful.
		The production by the Johansson brothers is excellent, letting all instruments and vocals come forward in the mix, where also both depth and heaviness is good.

	Excelsior! - MASTERMIND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In 1996 Jens recorded a demo piece Bill had written and the decision to do a full instrumental album was agreed upon.
		But Jens had since found work with the Finnish metal band "Stratovarius" and their schedule was keeping him busy as Mastermind was about to embark on a busy year of touring, so it wasn't until late 1997 - 10 years after that first chance meeting - that definite plans to record together were scheduled.
		In January 1998 Jens was in the studio with Mastermind recording all new music Bill had written specifically for this album since returning home from touring.

	Stratovarius Interview - Infernal Dominion Magazine
		Jens: Yeah...I think it was basically that they wanted a last bite of the apple and released it very close to our Infinite.
		Jens: I think, again, it was Tolkki who came up with the idea for that and he told the artist Derek Riggs.
		Jens: I think it was like this...He called and they were looking for a replacement for the old guy.

	JENS JOHANSSON -SHAWN LANE - MIKE STERN- FUSION - "You just found another killer EER review!"
		Cyberhome: http://www.heptagon.se Jens Johansson is joined by, jams with, and fuses expertly alongside his brother, Anders, on serious drums, and guitar virtuosos, Shawn Lane and Mike "Sterno" Stern on this release.
		Jens solos splendidly all over this structure whilst guitarists Lane and Stern add the "icing on the cake" served hot outta Jens' oven.
		Jens deftly dances all the parts of keys, guitarish leads, cookin' bass heartbeats and comes away leaving an interesting stamp on the listener.

		Jens Johansson (of early Yngwie Malmsteen fame) has got the best keyboards chops in the business.
		Jens is really shinning in this band, I think he has more room to breathe than he ever did with Yngwie.
		Lots of trade off soloing between Jens and Timo, they are a great combo here, both doing very interesting movements as they swap.

	KAMELOT - the official site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This song also features Jens Johansson depicting the devil's instrument with an awesome violin sounding key solo.
		There were several reasons why March of Mephisto was chosen as the opener; a) this piece was the first one to obtain a fully outlined song and was in many ways a reference point in the further process of writing the album.
		Jan Johansson was Jens Johansson 's father, and in addition to Jens being a tremendous musician and a living legend in the genre I find his participation on The Black Halo particularly cool due to above mentioned facts.

	I need a Jens Johansson lead patch - Jordan Rudess' Community Forums
		If you can read "here" there is a lot of people thea is working on their synth to help many other people in the forum and dont even ASK for sort of difficoult programming sounds like Jens patch..we are currently (and I am..) working to get it and its not so easy..
		It would be cool if you can help us trying to fool around in your synth and then post here some sample (like we do sometimes) instead of just ask without reading the other similar topic that i started before you post this..
		Jens does use some pitch envelope or manual bends on different notes.

		Besides Vitalij (who has two solos, 'High Definition' and 'Extreme Measures'...an Artension CD is finding its way to me via a trade), only Jens Johansson does (more so, they are 'Johansson Brothers' releases, along with Anders, his brother).
		Jens has a solo called 'Fission,' with guests like Anders, guitarist Shawn Lane, etc. It has jazzy/fusiony/proggy moments.
		Jens has an OP release from 1987 (title is in Swedish, I forget) which consists of "four, lengthy and complex instrumentals" (as quoted from his web site)...I hope it finds its way onto CD one day.

	www.virtuosityone.com - the website dedicated to rock/metal excellence
		Jens Johansson has some blistering solos and adds great embellishments to all tracks, whilst the rhythm section of drummer Jorg Michael and bassist Jari Kainulainen are super tight throughout and the synth bass sounds have for the most part gone - phew.
		Starting with Jens Johansson doing a quirky keyboard part the song quickly explodes into life with a simple yet very strong riff.
		Sadly the track is let down a little by the very plain chorus which sounds very dull by the rest of the album standards.

		Let's face it -- no matter how far he gets stylistically from his work with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and he has gotten very far afield from it at times, Greg Lake's fandom is always going to be rooted in his work with the prog rock trio during the 1970s and its various incarnations since.
		Jens Johansson is joined by, jams with, and fuses expertly alongside his brother, Anders, on serious drums, and guitar virtuosos Shawn Lane and Mike "Sterno" Stern on this release.
		Their previous release, 1996's Ear Candy, did indeed contain several superb tracks ("The Train," "Looking for Love," etc.), but was not consistently as great as such past classics Gretchen Goes to Nebraska and Dogman.

		On this release, the listener will be treated to pounding grooves, honed down by Anders' swift, double bass drum work and polyrhythmic fills.
		And of course, Hellborg slaps and smacks his electric bass into submission to coincide with Jens' dirty Hammond B-3 sound.
		However, the proceedings calm down to a whisper on the final cut, "Sovjet," where Hellborg executes a quaint melody atop Jens' church organ motif featuring a reverent, hymn-like vibe.

	Mastermind : Excelsior! - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Well, Bill Berends on fusion axe, Rich Berends on killer drums, and Jens Johansson on dazzling keys are several notches above the dynamic fusion of even Vertú.
		Fusion and rock genius Johansson joins the team on explosive keys and synth bass.
		If you loved the Mahavishnu Orchestra and enjoyed Johansson's fusion projects with Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, and Mike Stern, then find Mastermind's return to the primal roots of killer fusion.

		Jens carried around a huge Hammond beast even back when he started playing and I don't think he would go through all that trouble if he didn't have a love for the instrument.
		I know Jen's work only from Yngwie J. Ritchiejr Malmsteen (and I think one Dio album?). I'm fairly aware of Gregg Giuffria (he's a third degree connection of Deep Purple), although not his recent work. But I am not familiar with David Bryan or Alan Fitzgerald.

		And of course having Jens Johansson play on the album is the first keyboard player we've ever recorded with, so the interaction is nice.
		Recently (June '99), Mickey Simmonds (from Fish's band) played live with us as Jens was on tour with Stratovarius at the time.

	JOHANSSON BROTHERS \| Rockdetector
		Sweden's esteemed siblings, keyboard player JENS JOHANSSON and drummer ANDERS JOHANSSON, have, over the years, become highly sought after session players and have gained credits between them on numerous Hard Rock recordings including those by BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB, RAF, RACKATEERS, POWER UNITED, SNAKE CHARMER, KEEGAN, STRATOVARIUS, MASTERMIND, DIO and SHINING PATH.
		Jens Johannson also formed part of legendary ex-CREAM drummer GINGER BAKER's band for his 1992 album 'Unseen Rain'.
		More or less a Progressive, Symphonic affair the JOHANSSON BROTHERS' debut album does have a smile on its face with a bizarre version of the BEACH BOYS 'Good Vibrations' featured amongst the tracks...

		on keyboards (Stratovarius, Malmsteen, Snake Charmer, Johansson Brothers), Anders Johansson on drums (Johansson Brothers, Snake Charmer), Gøran Edman on vocals (Glory, Madison, John Norum, Street Talk, Talisman, Malmsteen, Brazen Abbott), and Michael Romeo on guitars and bass (Symphony X, Phantom's Opera).
		There are a lot of nice keyboard solos to be found here and the combination Johansson/Romeo seem to work perfectly.
		It's still easy to draw comparisons to Symphony X by the guitar work and its impact on these songs, especially on those songs without the Hammond style keys.

		The "B" section of this tune proceeds to introduce the incomparable Alan Holdsworth and his synth-axe, "uncommon chord" work as a back drop for Jens as he jams out a solo bass groove (on keys remember but few will be able to tell).
		I've heard some music from Anders and Jens Johanasson when they were in Yngwie's band.
		The tone from Jens' keyboard went out in the early 80's, and Holdsworth's tone is from a similar era.
