Svenska Kaputt

Out Of Stock

Nothing's kaput here – certainly not the creativity of the players involved – as the album's easily one of the most beautiful, most evocative sets we've ever heard from reedman Jonas Kullhammar! The quartet session is definitely a group effort – as all players work together in this really unique musical vision – jazz, but with a sense of spaciousness we might not expect from any of their previous records – almost a poetic, lyrical sort of approach – yet without any of the sleepiness (or sloppiness) such a reference might imply! Instead, there's a great focus on sound – tones, textures, and spaces – cast out carefully by Reine fiske on guitar and bontempi organ, Torbjorn Zetterberg on acoustic and electric bass, Johan Holmegard on drums and percussion, and Jonas Kullhammar on saxes, flute, and Hammond organ. Titles include "Syster Per", "Happy Ending", "Over Surnadal", "Trostlosa Tarar", and "Notskalsmusik 5".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
