Act

Crossover is a thing of the past: the future is Tonbruket!<br/>This band, formed around e.s.t. bassist Dan Berglund, "loves to tear down genre borders [...] and exposes a fascinating sound somewhere between jazz and rock" (Stern magazine). Now, with its fourth album, Tonbruket continue their adventure-loving expedition into the no man's land between the most divergent of musical directions with "Forevergreens". The four musicians are in no way about any kind of crossover, their goal is sensual internalization.<br/>Melodies, images, motifs, rhythms and sounds mix. Any attempt to locate this free-play on the accepted genre map is doomed to fail, because each song offers new hints as to its whereabouts. Just as many possible styles can be derived from the primal treasure of Tonbruket material as are influences required to accomplish in this mixture, which is as powerful as it is explosive. Tonbruket comprises four extreme individualists, who discover a unique collective identity here.<br/><br/>The dense band sound that interweaves the various instruments has priority over solo excursions. "Forevergreens" again lives and thrives on Berglund's and Werliin's enthralling grooves, on the variable guitar sounds of Lindström's and Hederos' solemn keyboard surfaces, but most of all on the tight-knit interplay of all these components together. Tonbruket stands for experiencing the sounds of the present, as they are shaped by hectic and stress, but also by an irrepressible longing for balance, harmony and peace.

Live At The Berlin Philharmonic IV / Accordion [CD]

Svenska pianisten Joel Lyssarides har länge varit nyfiken på sina grekiska rötter. Hos bouzouki-spelaren Giogios Prokopiou fann han det han sökte. Tillsammans skapar de skön jazz med en doft av Grekland.<br/><br/>LIRA GILLAR! "Makalöst musicerande skivan igenom. Missa inte en av årets finaste överraskningar." (Andreas Lagercrantz, Lira)

Emma Rawicz nya album Inkyra, inspelat med sextetten Gareth Lockrane (flöjt), David Preston (gitarr), Scottie Thompson (klaviatur), Kevin Glasgow (elbas) och Jamie Murray (trummor), bryter gränser på många sätt. Det är fullt av energi, idéer, klanger samt rytmisk och harmonisk komplexitet.
