Across the Atlantic, Esperanza Spalding won a first for jazz: the Grammy Award for Best ...

Nordic Connect: Spirals

Read "Spirals" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

Scandinavian jazz has enjoyed quite a renaissance over the past few decades, ranging from the cool Norwegian austerity of Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal's seminal 1970's recordings to the fiery Swedish expressionism of Magnus Broo and Mats Gustafsson's recent avant-garde excursions.
