BACK TO LIST

Following the award winning CD “Paint It Blue” (ACT 9243-2) in 1997, Mr. “Red Horn” Nils Landgren, teamed up with Swedens “Jazz Musician of the Year” (1996), Esbjörn Svensson. They both dig into the rich Swedish folk music heritage and come up with 13 tracks of deeply emotional collages. If this music does not move you, you should see a doctor.
