by Hrayr Attarian
The engaging and inventive Transatlantic Conversations: 11 Piece Band is the result of a remarkable collaboration between Swedish pianist Maggie Olin and Canadian saxophonist Christine Jensen.

Brända broar: Röjer På Vinden
by Dave Wayne
After gigging around their native Sweden for a few years, Brända Broar (Burnt Bridges) have finally issued their first album, Röjer På Vinden on Anders Ahlén's tiny Signal and Sound label. An EP-length vinyl-only audiophile quality 45-rpm album limited to 300 copies, Röjer På Vinden (literally “Delays in the Attic") is another powerful musical statement from ...
Mats Gustafsson: Piano Mating
by Mark Corroto
Sure, saxophonist Mats Gustafsson is a rock star. A star in the same sense that Thurston Moore is a jazz artist or Merzbow generates ambient sounds. It's not so much that we would expect to see those three gentlemen receiving a Grammy Award, but that imitators of their styles will. Someday. In other words, innovators pioneer ...
Per Texas Johansson: De langa rulltrapporna i flemingsberg
by Vincenzo Roggero
Curiosa, anche se non del tutto insolita, la storia di Per Texas Johansson. Fino alla metà degli anni novanta era tra i musicisti più in vista dell'emergente rinascimento jazzistico svedese che aveva come punta di diamante l'Esbjorn Svensson Trio. Poi il ritiro dalla scena musicale, gli studi come infermiere ed il lavoro nel reparto maternità dell'Huddinge ...
Nils Landgren: Some Other Time
by Bruce Lindsay
Hot on the heels of his guest appearance on Mo' Blow's funky Live In Berlin (ACT Music, 2016), trombonist and singer Nils Landgren moves over to Broadway with Some Other Time. As the sub-title makes clear, this is A Tribute To Leonard Bernstein--a worthy and at times achingly beautiful tribute, too. Landgren is joined ...
Martin Küchen / Johan Berthling / Steve Noble: Night In Europe
by John Sharpe
As one of Europe's premier saxophonists Martin Küchen boasts a diverse resumé. He often fronts a series of groups designed to negotiate his emotive compositions such as Angles, All Included and Trespass Trio, but also participates in more liberated sessions. One such in the company of bassist Johan Berthling and English drummer Steve Noble produced Night ...
We Float: Silence
by Eyal Hareuveni
Silence, the debut album from the Norwegian-Swedish, Malmö-based quartet We Float, offers well-crafted, dreamy and intimate jazz songs with a pop sensibility, characterized by a hypnotic, infectious pulse. This kind of aesthetic may sound to some as treading in the sonic territory of the Swedish-Danish trio Nuaia, but this first impression is deceiving --there is more ...
HOOB Records: Ten Years Young
by James Pearse
There is something romantic about starting a record label nowadays. With few financial incentives and a whole bunch of work to do to get the record recorded, promoted and distributed, it's a wonder people start records labels it at all. But they do. And many do it very well indeed. Artistic freedom is an ...

While Compact Disc sales have surged somewhat, streaming is in 2015 the predominant way to consume music. BlueMusicGroup.com—The Small Label With Big Music—has taken bold measures to make their MP3 download items more ...
Filip Jers Quartet: Filip Jers Quartet Plays Swedish Folk
by Chris Mosey
A difficult one, this: harmonica player Felip Jers and his quartet the latest in a long line of artists attempting to put a jazz slant on Swedish folk music. It all started in the 1960s when pianist Jan Johansson scored a massive hit with an EP and later an LP titled Jazz På Svenska (Jazz In ...
