In a September 2014 interview with Lundgren published by Marc Myers on his influential JazzWax blog, Myers said of the Trio's "Flowers Of Sendai" album: "There’s enormous beauty here in chord voicings and how they resolve. It’s impossible not to be moved by the delicacy and beauty." In 2010, together with Thomas Lantz, Lundgren founded the annual Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival (YSJF), for which he is Artistic Director. YSJF, which takes place around the first weekend of August each year, has quickly become one of Europe’s leading jazz festivals, involving some 40 concerts by international and Swedish artists. As well as Lundgren, these have included Quincy Jones, Hugh Masekela, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Hiromi, Pat Martino, Youn Sun Nah, Benny Golson, Enrico Pieranunzi, Tomasz Stanko, Kenny Barron, Elina Duni, Fabrizio Bosso, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Bobo Stenson, Nils Landgren, Benny Green, and Eliane Elias. The 2014 festival featured performances by, among others, Charles Lloyd, John Scofied, Abdullah Ibrahim, Dianne Schuur, Joshua Redman, Enrico Rava and Roy Hargrove. YSJF 2015, which ran from 29 July to 2 August, saw concerts by artists including Nils Landgren, Dianne Reeves, Karin Krog, Lars Danielsson Group, Viktoria Tolstoy, Robert Glasper Trio, Kenny Barron and Dave Holland. The festival is attended by approximately 7,000 people, of which 20% are from outside Sweden. Around 80-100 journalists from a variety of countries are accredited by the festival each year. Well-known jazz writers who have been at and reported on YSJF include Ira Gitler, Michael Tucker and Doug Ramsey. Lundgren has won several awards in recognition of his work, including the Skåne Region Culture Award (Sweden), awarded in January 2012. On 15 August 2014, Lundgren was named as the winner of the annual Årets Medelpunkt prize, awarded by Skånska Akademien, for his work as co-founder and artistic director of the Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival.  1994 – Conclusion (Four Leaf Clover) 1994 – Stockholm-Get-Together (Fresh Sound) 1995 – New York Calling (Alfa) 1996 – Bird of Passage (Four Leaf Clover) 1996 – California Connection (Fresh Sound-Four Leaf Clover) 1996 – Cooking!
