As promised, here's some jazz to brighten up your monday. Jonas Kullhammar Quartet operates in fairly standard territory on their most recent album "Son of a drummer" - the instrumentation is sax/piano/bass/drums and the compositions are fairly typical bebop. Play the head and let 'em rip, y'know? When the players are good, and they surely are, that's all you need. music doesn't always need to be challenging to be good. This is especially true with jazz and I'm appreciating that more and more as I get older. If I have to read a treatise to care about the piece, chances are high it's not worth listening to. Listen to JKQ's take on the Swedish standard "Corny waltz" for instance. The music is warm, familiar and inviting. The performances are strong. Is it enough to make you happy? It is for me.

This week's Bear Quartet post comes courtesy of Johan Gustavsson. Johan plays in a shit-ton of various bands including m/" target=_blank>Scraps of Tape, myspace.com/tsukimonoswe" target=_blank>Tsukimono, m/alina" target=_blank>Alina and m/conduoorchestra" target=_blank>Conduo Orchestra to name a few. SoT just released the excellent album "This is a copy is this a copy" and is on tour as we speak. Alina and Tsukimono have new records on the way, as do a few of the other projects he's involved in. Needless to say, he's a busy guy, but somehow to found time to reminisce on the mighty BQ:
"Gay icon" was the first BQ album I ever listened to as a whole and by my own will.
Up until then, my brother David used to play BQ to me once in a while, proclaiming that they were/are the best Swedish band ever and so on... I have infinite trust in David's musical knowledge and taste, so after a while I bought "Gay icon" and when "Portrait painter" came on I was blown to pieces. The lyrics just make me shudder and wipe a tear every time... thank you.
"Gay icon" was my first Bear Quartet album, too. Download "Portrait painter" below.
