Benjamin Koppel - Eythor Gunnarsson - Thommy Andersson - Alex Riel: The Reykjavik Recording
Le armonizzazioni di Gunnarson sono raffinate ed eleganti, e il suo pianismo discreto influenza il clima dell'intera registrazione così che i suoi compagni di viaggio si focalizzano su un approccio morbido e minimalista, talvolta lezioso, senza scossoni né impennate. Significativa è la conclusiva "Beatrice" di Sam Rivers, molto rispettosa e ben suonata ma senza quelle tensioni sottocutanee, quelle screziature quasi impercettibili che hanno reso storica una delle rare ballads di Mr. Rivers.
Disco complessivamente gradevole, suggerito a chi alla fine di una dura giornata di lavoro vuole scacciare pensieri e preoccupazioni con un tuffo nelle terse atmosfere di una giornata danese.
