Christer Boustedt (21 March 1939 in Bromma – 4 September 1986 in Alfta, Ovanåker Municipality) was a Swedish musician and actor.[1]

He was primarily a jazz musician playing the saxophone, and contributed film music to many Swedish films.

He was considered to be one of Sweden's most renowned jazz musicians of his time,[2] and teamed with several of the most famous musicians in the genre,[3][4] in Sweden and internationally. As an alto saxophone player [5] he was much influenced by Charlie Parker and was a bearer of "Birds" bebop tradition. This was especially signified on one of his most noticed albums: "Blues, Ballads and Bebop" (1985). He also had an acting career, and participated in a number of films, among them "Made in Sweden" (1969), award winning "Sven Klangs Kvintett" (Sven Klang's Quintet, 1976) and "Göta Kanal eller Vem drog ur proppen?" (1981).
