Over the past several years, jazz fans have been quite lucky to hear a significant amount of new work from Scandinavian improvisers.

Jonas Kullhammar has a cool name. Its implications in English also make it somewhat appropriate sounding: this young sax virtuoso has a big sound, like a cool hammer.
