(hansolding.com) - - - The group consists of four of its generations most hard working musicians in Sweden and has created its own, unique space in European jazz, with a personal and contemporary sound, outside of the main stream. A great sensibility for the inner being of jazz is always present in their music, which is based in thorough compositional work and an almost intuitive interplay. Melodic, hard swinging, contemporary jazz with one foot in the tradition, the other in our time and with the aim steadily fixed into the future! Hans Olding is one of Swedens most active and acclaimed jazz guitarists. He has been heard on stages around Europe and the rest of the world during the last ten years. Well known musicians he has played with includes, Daniel Humair (FRA), Francesco Bearzatti (ITA), Mikko Innanen (FIN), Karl-Martin Almqvist (SWE) and others. He has also received numerous grants for performance and composition. Linus Lindblom, saxophone, is one of the clearest sounding voices on the Swedish jazz scene today and was recently awarded the Swedish National Radios jazz price as Newcomer of the year. Hes a highly personal musician with a lyrical and energetic sound. Pär-Ola Landin, bass, can be heard on several recordings and on scenes around Sweden in different well-established bands. Hes one of the most in demand bass players of his generation in Sweden and has a long list of merits. Hes a thoroughly musical bassist with a rare drive and lots of experience from touring all over the world. Chris Montgomery, drums, is probably the strongest and most exciting drummer emerging from the Swedish west coast. He is one of his generations biggest talents, playing regularly with top creative Swedish jazz groups all over Europe. Singers, Rigmor Gustafsson and Jeanette Lindström, as well as the Bohuslän Big Band are some of his recent employers. (svenskjazz.se) - - - Gruppen utökas med vibrafonisten Mattias Ståhl i två melodier. Klarinettisten Fredrik Ljungkvist medverkar i en melodi. All musik är skriven av Olding. Det är en modern jazz som presenteras där kompositionerna knappast intar några publikflirtande vinklingar. Men jag vill definitivt inte kalla musiken svårtillgänglig. Här handlar det mer om tillit till den egna identiteten utan spekulativa tillsatser. Gruppens vidare öden är svårt att förutspå. Den seriösa inställningen och musikernas personliga spel borgar för kommande lagrar. Oldings gitarr och Linus sköna ton ger gruppen en tilltalande välljudande klang vilket också kunde konstateras på den tidigare skivan No Space. Båda har ett uttryckssätt som frapperar och lockar. Gruppens bakre delar, Per-Ola och Chris, är alert inspirerande och skapar en bra groove när tempot stiger. Mattias vibrafon är en tillgång och bidrar till att färga klangen i de nummer han deltar i. Fredrik Ljungkvist klarinett hade jag gärna sett lite ymnigare. Han är verkligen en speleman, en positiv sådan, som sprudlar av leklust peppat med fantasirika inpass.
