Jonas Hellborg
To Jonas Hellborg music is not simply entertainment, it is necessary for our balance and well being as humans, his devotion in pursuing this concept defining his well over four decades international music career with some of the leading exponents of jazz, Indian and western classical music.
Labeled as innovator and rule breaker, he simply takes the shortest, most direct way to essence and truth, even if that means banishing tabus or inferior standards, putting minds out of their comfort zone.
The way he came to the music world's attention with a solo performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1981 is evidence of that. From an electric bass player, this was at the time unheard of. It was as well following another first in history, Hellborg's first solo album in 1979, quite unthinkable for those days, a record featuring solely electric bass.

by C. Michael Bailey
This is a spotlight on drums...a pretty big spotlight. Edwin G. Hamilton The Whole World Must Change Self Produced2016 It's hard enough to find a drummer, much less one who sings. There is Les DeMerle, and he is fine, but, the drummer/singer is a pretty hard chair to fill, ...
Material: Hallucination Engine
by John Kelman
Material Hallucination EngineAxiom1994 Some albums come along without any real intention other than to be what the are yet, without any fanfare, completely change the possible ways music can be perceived, felt and created by those lucky enough to hear them. Today's Rediscovery is one such album, a record that wasn't ...
Jeff Sipe Trio: Jeff Sipe Trio featuring Mike Seal and Taylor Lee
by Mark Sullivan
Drummer Jeff Sipe was a member of Colonel Bruce Hampton's Aquarium Rescue Unit and has played with many other musicians. But probably his most visible association was the power trio with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane, followed by a more recent trio with guitarist Alex Machacek. So he is clearly very comfortable in an improvising rock/jazz ...
