Sverre Gjørvad: Elegy Of Skies

Read "Elegy Of Skies" reviewed by Friedrich Kunzmann


Sverre Gjørvad's 2019 offering Voi River (Losen Records) saw the Norwegian drummer painting minimalist sketches that mirrored his native environment. Taking up that thematic thread, his follow up effort opts for the gaze upward, reflecting on Norway's firmament in a musical Elegy of Skies. As compared to the predecessor, Gjørvad's 2020 sketchbook of ideas is even more melodically concise, conceptually stringent and technically refined. It sees him in expressive and sensitive interplay with a quartet that always seems to know ...

Joakim Milder, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Pär-Ola Landin, Christopher Cantillo: Trädet

Read "Trädet" reviewed by Luca Casarotti


Chi fosse alla ricerca di un disco che rievoca l'estetica del free jazz degli albori senza suonare inattuale, può ascoltare questo Trädet. Il lavoro, allo stesso tempo di recupero e rinnovamento del linguaggio, è ben svolto da un quartetto collaborativo (cioè senza leader) al suo esordio discografico, ma composto da musicisti già affermati: il sassofonista Joakim Milder, il sassofonista e clarinettista Fredrik Ljungkvist, il bassista Pär-Ola Landin e il batterista Christopher Cantillo. Nelle formazioni ...

Milder - Ljungkvist - Landæus - Augustson - Rundqvist: The Music Of Anders Garstedt

Read "The Music Of Anders Garstedt" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Non era il debole sole del Nord ad animare la musica di Anders Garstedt ma un coinvolgimento nel modern mainstream anni cinquanta, sia statunitense che europeo. Parliamo al passato perchè il trombettista svedese è scomparso a soli trentun anni nel 2000. Era nato a Karlstad la città prospicente il lago Vänern e dopo aver studiato il folklore del suo Paese e il jazz negli Stati Uniti, aveva operato come trombettista e autore nella Fredrik Norén Band. Lo si può ascoltare ...

Nils Lindberg / Margareta Bengtson: As We Are

Read "As We Are" reviewed by Chris Mosey


With climate change and recent weather, the Shakespearean sonnet “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" would seem to have become a trifle outmoded. Still, where there's a Will there's a way and Nils Lindberg has set the piece to music.

Lindberg is a true Renaissance man. From his home in Gagnef, a small village deep in the forests of the Swedish province of Dalecarlia, he emerges every now and again to dazzle us ordinary mortals with his many ...

Joakim Milder: Monolithic

Read "Monolithic" reviewed by Matthew Wuethrich


When Louis Armstrong laid down his Hot Five and Hot Seven sessions, he defined jazz as a soloist's art. Since his compact ruminations, generations of players have allowed the solo to define their identity and their composing. Think of Coleman Hawkins' “Body and Soul," Bud Powell's titanic keyboard workouts, Miles Davis opening new modal spaces on “So What" and John Coltrane's cataclysmic reworking of “My Favorite Things"—these were pinnacles of how the solo has driven jazz composition to date.
