Fire! Orchestra has been an institution founded in innovation and creativity since its inception in Stockholm in 2013.
To quote the music magazine Sonic: “…a magical explosion, a memory for life, a display of free jazz and soul.”
Now in their 14th year, the ever-evolving Fire! Orchestra are back with their most ambitious album to date – the double album “ECHOES”. Recorded at the legendary Atlantis studio in Stockholm and beautifully mixed by Jim O’Rourke, Echoe emerges as “a two-hour work of epic proportions: full of energy, violence and beauty; historical musical awareness, outstanding musicianship, otherworldly free jazz , beauty, improvisational and compositional prowess, pure fun and more. Simply another masterpiece”. (Martin Schray, Freejazzblog)
