ACT

Nytt spännande duosamarbete! Jan Lundgren, piano, och Hans Backenroth, bas, bjuder på ren jazzpoesi, med sköna tolkningar av allt från standards till Beatles "She's Leaving Home" och "Lacrimosa" ur Mozarts requiem. "An intense musical dialogue by two of the biggest names of today's Nordic jazz scene." (Jazziz)<br/><br/>LIRA GILLLAR!<br/>"Med stor känslighet och mogen musikalitet, finurliga infall och ett in i minsta detalj vältajmat samspel, tolkar Lundgren och Backenroth ett urval av eget och andras material. Folkvisa, jazzstandards och klassiskt skapar en skön blandning. Bara att luta sig tillbaka och njuta!" (Alexandra Ullsten, Lira)

Pianist Jan Lundgren makes music like a brilliant architect. If he were to build a house, it would - in the words of the song - be a very very very fine house. And it would have all his hallmarks about it. It would show his deep understanding of both tradition and modernism, together with his preternatural instinct for bringing the two together. It would visibly convey his unique way of blending the very best of American design and construction with immaculate European style and taste. To extend the metaphor, Lundgren's building on several floors would be a delight to inhabit, with rooms that have fascinating shapes, cosy corners, clear lines, rooms that would contain artefacts and objets trouvés which would allow nostalgia to well up in the visitor's mind. There would also be a spacious loft with the room to play, to improvise and to wander. Ever since the early days of his career, Lundgren's artistry has been defined by change and renewal, and yet he never loses sight of the past. His album "Potsdamer Platz" is a statement that is personal, a faithful portrayal of the unique perspective from which he experiences and performs jazz.
