about

On this album, the energy and swing are what drive Wiklund and his fellow musicians – specifically, a free and open interpretation of “swing,” one that doesn’t depend on the rhythm section pushing forward in unison. The bass doesn’t always have to walk at a fixed tempo, the drums don’t have to play on but rather around the beat, and the piano doesn’t need to accompany in a traditional sense. Wiklund reminds listeners that energy in music doesn’t need to be overstated or exaggerated. Energy is just as often found between the lines and in the freedom of the band members to chase a spontaneous idea. This freedom is made possible by the profound personal and musical familiarity that’s obvious between Wiklund and the other players who share his ideas – Swedish drummer Daniel Fredriksson, and the two Danes, bassist Lasse Mørck and pianist Simon Toldam, who are known for their contributions to advanced improvised music. Wiklund’s rounder and darker tone don’t stop him from intermittently bursting into dazzling cascades on his instrument. Those who associate Swedish jazz with melancholic folk music have taken a wrong turn if they think that’s all they can expect with Wiklund. He offers so much more and seems to want to embrace all of jazz, its entire history, and all its facets of expression.
