Svend Asmussen: Fiddling Around
by Chris Mosey
While striving to avoid clichés like the plague, there seems only one way to describe Danish jazz violinist Svend Asmussen: he is still going strong. At the age of 92, “the fiddling Viking" is embarking on a 2008 tour of Scandinavia. Fiddling Around, recorded when he was a mere slip of a lad, age 77, has ...
Sounds Of Eternity: Part One
by Glenn Astarita
The title of this album projects existential or perhaps biblical connotations. Yet this Swedish quintet evens out the glorious melodies with a contemporary jazz methodology, topped-off with a distinct edge. They render a balancing act of sorts, where improvisation attains a hearty coexistence with Linnea Olsson's angelic vocals and textural cello work to complement an easy ...

Fredrik Lindborg: The General
by Victor Verney
There are those who insist that jazz musicians are born, not made. Swedish saxophonist Fredrik Lindborg makes an interesting exhibit in this “nature versus nurture" argument. He was determined from a very young age to become a jazz musician, and he credits this to the fact that his father began playing Charlie Parker and Billie Holiday ...
BarT: BarT Featuring Jim Beard
by Mark Sabbatini
Sweden has always seemed like the mellow sibling of Scandinavia. Nestled between the fjords of Norway, party-hearty Denmark and the Soviet/European culture clash of Finland, Swedes maintain a squeaky clean country while talking in a soft language featuring lots of “mmm," “rrr" and other smooth sounds. So perhaps it's not surprising the Göteborg trio ...
Bjorn Samuelsson: Jazz Formation: A Letter To Ake Persson
by Ken Kase
Trombone enthusiasts can rejoice at the arrival of a new voice on an instrument which has been unjustly under-represented in the jazz canon.
