Jonas Kullhammar: Snake City North
by Michael McCaw
There is nothing quite like the muscular sound of a big band that is busting at the seams with energy while disposing of the all-too-common brassy clichés of big band recordings. Fronted by tenor saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar and his quartet with pianist Torbjörn Gulz, acoustic bassist Torbjörn Zetterberg, and drummer Jonas Holgersson, the Norrbotten Big Band ...
Jonas Kullhammar Quartet/Norrbotten Big Band: Snake City North
by Jack Bowers
It's been a while since we've heard from Sweden's intrepid Norrbotten Big Band from up near the Arctic Circle. On that last occasion (Future North, Double-Time, 1998), the NBB was led by American trumpeter Tim Hagans; this time, it is in the company of Swedish tenor saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar's impressive quartet. The quartet-within-a-band format is a ...
Jonas Kullhammar: Snake City North
by Clifford Allen
Where American jazz culture left off, Europe appears to have picked up some of the slack in a longstanding tradition of big bands. Though they're not always more economically viable on the other side of the pond, their mark on post-bebop jazz has nevertheless been undeniable. In addition to the freer organizations like Globe Unity, the ...

Jonas Kullhammar: Plays Loud for the People
by Ty Cumbie
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. The new CD from his excellent quartet also looks goofily cool, with a youthful-looking painting that makes Kullhammar out to be far more gangly than he actually looks ...

Jonas Kullhammar/Goran Kajfes/Johan Berthling/Kjell Nordeson: Nacka Forum
by Farrell Lowe
While a far cry from recent work by Norah Jones, this recording was nominated for a Swedish Grammy, which sheds some light on the differences between American and Swedish tastes. By now most folks know the sweet pop-inflected jazz style of Jones, but probably most have little knowledge of one of her Swedish counterparts.

The Jonas Kullhammar Quartet: The Soul of Jonas Kullhammar
by Jack Bowers
Jonas Kullhammar, a young Rollins and Coltrane–inspired postbopper, bares his soul on this gregarious quartet session recorded without a net in July ’01 at the Glenn Miller Café (exact location unknown). Kullhammar, who was then twenty–three, wrote everything except Trane’s “Your Lady,” and his sunny compositions provide an excellent jumping–off point for tight group interaction and ...
