Schlingerland, Johansson's debut album, is recognized as one of the first solo free jazz albums by a drummer.[6] When asked whether the music was composed or improvised, Johansson stated that "it's an idea, more of a concept, no written music."[7] He named Shelley Manne and Sunny Murray as influences, but noted that "this was my own style."[7]
