Nils Lindberg: Timeless (Seven Dalecarlian Paintings)
by Mark Sabbatini
Nils Lindberg has apparently spent his lengthy career recording some pretty good jazz-meets-ancient-folk which you've never heard. His 2003 Christmas album hit the market in January of 2004 and is now out of print. Some of his used albums sell for more than $100 each, though a few more reasonably priced releases are available on the ...
Jukka Tolonen: Cool Train - Tolonen Plays Coltrane!
by Mark Sabbatini
If Coltrane is an acquired taste for you, this album might be a palatable way to start. Cool Train sounds like what one expects from a rock/fusion player who's been performing for nearly four decades. Whether this spoon-feeding of well-known songs is a good thing is very much in the ears of the beholder. Hooks snag ...
Carin Lundin: Songs That We All Recognize
by Mark Sabbatini
The title promises musical comfort food, and that's what this album delivers. No more, no less. Songs That We All Recognize is a well-assembled album of mostly standards that takes no chances, offers no unexpected curves and avoids any disappointments for listeners seeking low-key acoustic straight-ahead jazz. Swedish vocalist Carin Lundin's third album is in the ...

Maggi Olin Band: Le Sp
by Jack Bowers
Le Spécialité, Swedish pianist Maggi Olin's fourth album for Prophone, is certainly well-played, but it hasn't got much staying power. In other words, it's not something I'd choose to listen to more than is necessary. At least a part of the reason for my lack of enthusiasm rests with Olin's compositions (she wrote and arranged everything), ...

The Peter Asplund Quartet: Lochiel's Warning
by Jack Bowers
It took me a while to warm to Lochiel's Warning, the latest album by Swedish trumpeter Peter Asplund, and that's partly because the sequencing is flawed. As a result, it's one of those sessions wherein the whole seems less than the sum of its parts, if you follow my drift. Asplund is a splendid trumpeter, one ...
A Walk in the Centerpoint
Label: Prophone Records
Released: 2003
Track listing: A Walk in the Centerpoint; Papa Knows Best; Santiago Nights; Running Thoughts; Sideways;
Brazilian Waves; Like a Secret (71:01).
The Tolvan Big Band: A Walk in the Centerpoint
by Jack Bowers
When it comes to swinging in a contemporary groove, Sweden’s Tolvan Big Band takes a back seat to no one. This is a killer ensemble, able to stare down the most formidable charts without flinching or even blinking an eye. Regardless of mood or tempo the sense of forward motion is always there, thanks to fastidious ...
