Orjan Hultn Trio went to Prastmon, Angermanland in the north of Sweden to reconnect to northern roots and to get the right woodland feeling. This new album Im the Woods, their first full-length recording as a trio, was recorded on a bitterly cold winter day.
“The woods" are a central source of inspiration on this album, the music sometimes dark and mysterious like a northern pineforest, sometimes busy and bickering like chattering junglebirds, sometimes peaceful and unfathomable like a woodland pool.
OHT play an unrestrained mixture of religious freejazz, ballads, r&b, calypso, uptempo and blues. In their music you can find influences from a wide range of musicians such as Alice Coltrane, Mary J Blige, and the swedish pianist Per Henrik Wallin. Everything is held together by Hultens compositions and the keen collaboration of Augustson, Hulten and Rundqvist.
