Andreas Gidlund: The Happiest Man Alive

Read "The Happiest Man Alive" reviewed by Mark Sabbatini

by Mark Sabbatini
January 7, 2006

There's something strange about how modern jazz often defies the laws of physics, which specify that two particles of matter can't occupy the same space at the same time. Swedish saxophonist Andreas Gidlund's The Happiest Man Alive is a Michael Brecker-like fusing of contemporary jazz hooks with post bop calking (mostly the latter), the ...
