Parker Charlie: Five classic albums 1949-54 [2 CD]

Tonbruket: Light wood Dark strings 2023 [Digipack / CD]

After Martin Hederos gathered his dream band, Hederosgruppen has become one of Sweden’s most hyped jazz acts, both live and on record. Yes, they are often placed in the jazz category, but they seem primarily focused on making fun music. Hederosgruppen made their debut with Storstrejk (2020) which was followed by Ståplats (2022), the only album thus far to win the Gyllene Skivan, Grammis and Manifest awards. Expectations for the third album may be high, but the group acts colly, calls their new creation Stilbrott (Breach of style) and puts three ski jumpers on the cover. As before, all five band members contribute ideas and compositions. The result could have been fragmented, but this quintet has created their style out of eclecticism. As before, they mix the riotous with the romantic in any number of styles. The common thread is the joy of being alive and playing live.

Porres, Nannie: All the Things You Are [CD]

Esbjörn Svensson avled i en dykolycka den 14 juni 2008. Han och hans trios enorma inflytande på musikscenen speglades i alla pressrosor och kritikerhyllningar ("Trio of the Decade", "The hippest thing in jazz right now"). Även musikerkollegorna var lyriska "Most exciting act I saw in the past 15 years" - Pat Metheny och "My favourite band - I'm a fan" - Jamie Cullum. "When everyone has gone" var det första albumet från Esbjörn Svensson Trio som kort därefter var ett stort namn världen över.
