AB was formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Per Tjernberg. His first vinyl release was an ep produced "independently" which included two live improvised sessions. After five albums published. Many of his recordings are more or less live jam sessions in which they used to use lots of very hip percussion Amon Düül. In a way, their early records also remind Swedish Arbete & Fritid (there was a strong connection between these two bands). Also important was the African influence in their music, especially on their fourth album, recorded with the band Afro Tanzania 70. The group went through many lineup changes. In the recordings took part Per Tjernberg (keyboards, percussion, clarinet), Jörgen Adolfsson (sax, violin, mandolin, guitar), Mats Hellqvist (guitar, bass), Pysen Eriksson (percussion, vibraphone), Per Lapins (bass), Anders Jonsson (drums), Bosse Nyman (percussion), Tommy Adolfsson (trumpet, drums), Christer Bjernelind (bass, mandolin, guitar, keyboards, percussion) Peter Rönnberg (guitar), Kjell Andersson (clarinet, percussion), Ingvar Karkoff (keyboards), Bengt Berger (drums), Anita Livstrand (percussion), Peter Ragnarsson (percussion), Christer Botha (saxophone) and Sigge Krantz (guitar, bass .) Besides, there were some other musicians who collaborated on the discs as mentioned Afro 70 or Don Cherry. In addition to his career at AB, the musicians had much more activity and Jörgen Adolfsson parallel and playing in Iskra and later in Bolon Bata. Adolfsson and Botha were also in Vargavinter. Hellqvist Elektriska participated in Linden and Krantz in Stockholm Norra and Bröderna Lönn.
