About:
”From a broad-legged, hard-blowing Coltrane fan now emerges a more lyrical improviser, who has found his own language rooted in a classical tradition. Dexter Gordon comes to mind, but Almqvist is his own person and with patience and calm he formulates epic improvisations in his own compositions that make up the group's repertoire.”
”Almqvist plays astonishingly maturely in a style that could perhaps be described as epic; long coherent stories with a clear view of what will happen not only in the next beat but far over the horizon.”
”Karl-Martin Almqvist is fast, but with full control, rarely repeats himself in the solos and his sound shines. I don't know what more qualities one could wish for him.”
”And once again it was confirmed that Karl-Martin Almqvist is on his way to making his
mark as one of the great tenor names in Swedish jazz. With a musical playing that radiates virility and authority, but at no point degenerates into something macho.”
Bo Nygårds is an accomplished young guitarist based in Malmö, known for his involvement in a variety of music projects as well as working on his own creative endeavors. Having studied at the Berlin Jazz Institute, he is now furthering his education at the Malmö Academy of Music. Bo’s sound is inspired by contemporary jazz guitarists, allowing him to bring a unique and sophisticated approach to the Swedish music scene.
Thiery is a pianist who attempts to merge musical experiences as well as life experiences together, creating an endless stream of ideas that are represented through the piano. Still in his youth, Thiery offers a musical maturity that stems from a deep respect for not only his heroes such as Miles Davis, Art Tatum, Herbie Hancock etc, but also for whoever he shares the stage with.
Alexander (Sasja) Nilsson is a bassist from Växjö. Alexander's style can be described as a mix between modern and traditional jazz. His influences range from the classics like Paul Chambers to the more modern like Harish Raghavan. During the day, Nilsson studies at the University of music in Malmö and in the evenings you can hear him play mainly in the Småland and Öland areas, and also in Malmö and Skåne.
Linus Hansson is a gifted young drummer from the small town of Staffanstorp. Rapidly shaping his own style, he takes inspiration from the 50’s and 60’s giants of Elvin and Philly Joe Jones, as well as the modern sounds of JK Kim. While currently studying jazz at Skurups folkhögskola, he is often spotted playing either drums or bass at many of Malmö’s Rock- and Blues clubs.
