The Janne Ersson Big Band: Live at the Stockholm Jazz Festival
by Jack Bowers
The world is full of dreamers, but few of them have the boldness and tenacity to make their dreams come true. From the moment he heard a recording of the Buddy Rich big band in 1966, Swedish drummer Janne Ersson decided he would one day lead a band like that himself. After years of paying his ...
Martin Sjostedt Band: Mondeo

Kronkvist himself comes from a line that began with Bird, continued through the Sonnys ...
Andreas Pettersson: Getting Close to You
by Jack Bowers
Here’s another album to file under “p” for “pleasant surprises” — even though one shouldn’t really be surprised by the quality of any group whose rhythm section includes bassist Mads Vinding and drummer Ed Thigpen.
