Sven Götz has German parents, was born in Sweden, Germany
grew up, returned back to the north, then south again:
a wanderer between the worlds? Well, country's doing well here. The title
is also an indication of two Swedes in his band. Except the
(Bumpy glorious!) Swedish folk song "Jag Vet En Däljig Pink"
are all compositions by Sven Götz, are as varied as his
respective guitar - the man is a walking encyclopedia guitar?

The opener "Israelites Valz # 4" could also Garbarek "WITH PICTURE"
Album come so close to the acoustic sound is the masterpiece of Bill
Connors. In the following "keys" are remembered to Pat Metheny. "Easy Days"
however, the topic sounds like a brave version of Scofield and Lovano, in
the solos, the relative fortunately. Saxophonist Ekkehard Rössle fits
very good to idols, especially the combination of soprano and acoustic guitar
makes it very distinctive. Bassist Mattias Grönroos falls with beautiful solos ("Marie")
on, Tommy Holmgren keeps behind the drums in the background more.
All four of them individually and as a quartet potential, but they could
more autonomy does not hurt! (T jk)
