Tracklisting

Lisa Björänge Quintet's third album is a victory against the demons. The songs on the album are about being used and reduced, about rising again, about people who mean something to you, about relationships, about impulsivity (or sometimes the lack of it) in humans, about the scary and dark state of the world, about perspective. Swedish world class jazz.

Lisa Björänge Quintets tredje skiva är en arbetsseger mot demonerna. Låtarna på skivan handlar om att bli utnyttjad och förminskad, om att resa sig igen, om människor som betyder något för en, om relationer, om impulsivitet (eller ibland avsaknaden av den) hos människor, om det läskiga och mörka läget världen, om perspektiv. Favoritmusikerna utgör som vanligt line-upen. Svensk jazz i världsklass

Tracklisting

”Anna Lund presenterar: Hurrakel!” is the debut album of the drummer, who was awarded with 2016's edition of the Swedish Radio's prize ”Jazzkatten” as a shooting star.

Among the songs we find a salute to Gothenburg, a royal anticlimax and a lullaby for a wicked moon. Poetic, grand, playful and beautiful!

Improviser and composer. Words used about many a jazz musician, yet here is an improviser with a recognizable expression, which should not be taken for granted, especially not on a piano. Cecilia Persson is best known for her work in the group Paavo, but plays the piano in several other bands, with Lina Nyberg for example. But in a way, now is when Cecilia makes her debut, since it is the first time she is alone in the roles of band leader and composer. And what an ambitious debut it is. Not fewer than ten musicians are deployed, combined in different formats on different tracks. Download pressphoto here --->

This is music that doesn't answer to words as ”jazz”, or any other genre. It is simply – Laponia. Pressrelease only in Swedish at the moment. Please contact info@hoob.net for more info in English.
