Skuggorna Och Ljuset: Would Fall from the Sky, Would Wither and Die
by John Eyles
If the Swedish group name Skuggorna Och Ljuset does not ring any bells, then the names of some of its members may help jog the memory--Magnus Granberg on clarinet, Anna Lindal on violin, Leo Svensson Sander on cello, Erik Carlsson on percussion. Yes? Well, all four of them have previously figured on Another Timbre releases as ...

Sarah Riedel: Living Up To Expectations
by James Pearse
The world of jazz is no stranger to the sound of the Swedish language. Alice Babs and Monica Zetterlund--and more recently, Rigmor Gustafsson--are just a few of the names of jazz vocalists hailing from this cold northern country that have reached the ears of US and UK audiences. Some people believe that spoken Swedish ...
Nuaia: Belong To The Moon
by Hrayr Attarian
Built around singer Sofie Norling's expressive voice, Nordic ensemble Nuaia's music is delightfully unclassifiable and it uniquely transcend genres.

Thomas Jäderlund Amazing Trio: Plays Jazz
by Alberto Bazzurro
In questo gradevolissimo CD, il veterano sassofonista svedese Thomas Jäderlund guida il proprio trio alla riscoperta di quattro temi di Ornette Coleman e altrettanti di Charles Mingus. Lui si divide fra il sax alto, su cui sfoggia una bella voce schiettamente ornettiana (appunto), e il sopranino (due soli brani, entrambi di Mingus: “Fables of Faubus" e ...
Torbjörn Zetterberg: Och Den Stora Frågan
by Maurizio Zerbo
Di Torbjörn Zetterberg si ne erano perse le tracce, dopo le ottime prove solistiche negli anni '90. I sette anni di assenza dalla scena musicale non ne hanno offuscato la verve strumentale e compositiva. Ne è una buona testimonianza il CD in esame, ispirato al free-jazz degli anni '60. Lo si capisce dall'enunciazione tematica del tema ...
Jonas Kullhammar: Gentlemen
by Mark Corroto
Swedish saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar continues to capture the late-fifties and early-sixties Blue Note sound. That magic golden age of jazz, when legends roamed roamed the earth, and recorded their music at Rudy Van Gelder's studio. His music conjures names like Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane. The twelve compositions recorded here are the ...
Kullhammar - Aalberg - Zetterberg: Basement Sessions Vol. 2
by Maurizio Zerbo
La pesante ombra dell'eredità coltraniana si insinua nelle trame di questo disco, per quel che riguarda il sound ed il linguaggio proposto. Il trio svedese rivela però una personalità che va oltre il modello di riferimento, grazie ad una tessitura fluida ed volatile. Fra i musicisti si è instaurato un rapporto di intesa molto profondo e ...
