Schlosser / Almqvist / Free Swing- Tuuri (CD)
You might think that Free Swing is a fitting name for a jazz quartet, but there is actually more to it in the case of this international band of four; the two words are composed of the internationally customary abbreviations of the countries of origin of the protagonists: Trumpeter Axel Schlosser comes from Germany (GER), tenor saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist and bassist Mattias Welin from Sweden (SWE) and drummer Jaska Lukkarinen from Finland (FIN). Of course, Free Swing also stands for the music of the quartet: "We play music that swings," Axel Schlosser put it in a nutshell, "but it is very freely designed."
Tracklist:
- Zeil
- Opus 10, Nr 4
- Have You Met Mr. Jones?
- Bunky Bunk
- Near Birches, Birds, and Bees
- Countdown 1234
- Saiam
- Keep It Simple
- Yellow ; Orange
- Welin In Acapulco
- If There Is No Blues...
