Larsson Explicity / Tussilago Recorded May 2011 Released September 2011 Tussilago / Impellent / Kaleidoscope / Second opening / Immersion / Implicity / Wind Song / Please tell me about it / Snacks / Sincerely Yours. Total playing time 60.44. Sven Larsson - bass trombone, didgeridoo, Cecilia Wennerström - tenor saxophone, alto flute, Filip Augustson - double bass, Henrik Wartel - drums, didgeridoo. Sven Larsson and Cecilia Wennerström have been exploring sounds and melodies for some years in their experimental Duo Wela. Now the couple felt that the time had come to extend the duo into a quartet. Unlike Duo Wela that plays all kinds of music, the new quartet is more explicitly freejazzy and therefore is named Explicity. "Sven Larsson is a musical phenomenon. He is the bass trombonist who plays classical music as well as jazz, and who switches to tuba, tenor trombone, or didgeridoo without missing a beat." Johan Scherwin, Svensk Musik/STIM. "This is surprising music on a good and finely worked-through cd." Leif Wigh, Orkesterjournalen ●●●● "It's exciting to hear how easily this awkward instrument actually comes forward in his hands. He plays several very fine solos, for example in "Second Opening"" Magnus Nygren, Sound of Music "They all have something interesting to say" Lennart Olausson, www.ib2.se "... free dialogue and unexpected ideas" Peter Bornemar, Dig Jazz |
