Anders Ahlen Unit: Lines and Dots
by Dave Wayne
I hope it's not too silly to say that Lines and Dots, the new album by guitarist and composer Anders Ahlén, is really cool. But it is; both in the colloquial sense and in the jazz sense. The music goes down with nary a wasted note, the cover art is hip and minimal, and it comes-self-produced ...

Interview: Jan Lundgren
Pianist Jan Lundgren is widely known in Sweden but a little less so in the States, though he tours here occasionally. Wowed by his two most recent albums—Flowers of Sendai and All By Myself—I reached out to Jan, 48, for an email chat. His playing is both lyrical and rich with mood, influenced by a Swedish ...
