The Mats Holmquist Big Bad Band: A Tribute to Chick Corea

by Jack Bowers
February 22, 2004

Chick Corea has been one of the jazz world’s most prolific and influential composers for more than three decades, and the best one can say about this impressive salute by Mats Holmquist’s Stockholm-based Big Bad Band is that his music has seldom sounded more enchanting. I don’t know if Corea has heard this, but if he ...

Fredrik Nordstr: On Purpose

by Jack Bowers
September 1, 2002

Lindgren, who’s not yet thirty, ...

Now comes Lindha Svantesson with her second album as a leader presenting a play list of her own compositions, except for the album's coda and outpost of respite, “The ...
