Jonas Kullhammar, Alistair Payne and Rich Halley Trio
by Maurice Hogue
This episode has a definite tilt to artists from Northern Europe with music from several different countries. Sweden's Moserobie Music catalog is featured in several tracks, particularly label founder and multi-reedist Jonas Kullhammar, while from the neighbouring Norway you'll hear music by saxophonist Andre Roligheten, bassist Dan Peter Sundland and the Bliss Quintet. Bassist Meinrad Kneer & his quintet and the trio Ouat lead the way for several artists from Germany. The Netherlands scene is represented by interesting trumpet player ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
Figlio d'arte--il padre Hector, leggendario sassofonista uruguaiano trasferitosi in Svezia negli anni sessanta, ha suonato tra gli altri con Nat King Cole, Buddy Rich, la Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra, Tina Turner--Daniel Bingert è figura importante della scena musicale svedese. Fin dagli anni novanta si è esibito nei più svariati contesti passando dalla big band di latin jazz guidata insieme al padre al gruppo fusion--free-punk denominato JH3. Ariba giunge tre anni dopo il sorprendente debutto di Berit in Space, ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
Un settetto stellare con alcuni dei maggiori protagonisti della scena musicale svedese che aveva debuttato nel 2018 con lo splendido Music for Empty Hall più l'apparizione di Elvis Costello nel brano di apertura. Due indizi sufficienti a suscitare più di una curiosità intorno a On the Asylum, seconda uscita discografica dell'ensemble di Johan Lindstrom, specialista della steel guitar, collaboratore di Nils Petter Molvaer, Patti Smith, Per Texas Johansson, Sly & Robbie, compositore, produttore, sound designer. E soprattutto creatore di mondi ...

by Karl Ackermann
Multi-instrumentalist and composer Johan Lindström issued his 2018 septet debut Music For Empty Halls (Moserobie Music) to global accolades. The unique set was nominated for a Swedish Grammy, an award which Lindström had captured on four previous occasions. The debut was noted for its unhurried and democratic approach to creative ensemble music. On the Asylum, the second outing of the Johan Lindström Septett surpasses its predecessor as a stunning and eclectic project. Lindström is not yet well-known in ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
Il brano iniziale, a parte i primi ingannevoli secondi di tastiera elettrica, possiede l'energia, il suono scuro, il tumultuoso fondale ritmico, il ribollire dei fiati tipico degli ensemble di Charles Mingus. Sette minuti abbondanti che fanno bella mostra delle potenzialità del gruppo, che a pieno organico palesa un suono orchestrale ed esalta le peculiarità delle singole voci. Den Stora Fragan è di fatto un ottetto che riunisce alcune delle voci più significative della scena svedese, il nostro Alberto Pinton, che ...

by Mark Corroto
Berit In Space is available in all formats from LP to CD and digital except cassette, but you don't have to play the vinyl version to get at least some of the vinyl experience. The album's very clever sound incorporates what is described as a “true-vinyl-record-remaster" that includes a needle drop as each “side" begins, plus that end of the “side" snap of the stylus. The sound returns to the warmth of the pre-digital listening experience, as does the music ...
read moreNacka Forum: We Are The World
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nacka Forum nasce nel 1999 come formazione improntata principalmente a reinterpretare brani di musicisti quali Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra e Art Ensemble of Chicago. Ben presto il quartetto abbandona quel repertorio per concentrarsi su composizioni originali, cui contribuiscono tutti i membri del gruppo. Giunta al quinto album Nacka Forum si conferma come una delle realtà più importanti della scena svedese, grazie ad una vena compositiva sempre ispirata e alla qualità dei musicisti, da tempo coinvolti in stimolanti collaborazioni e leader ...
