The Landæus Trio has an extraordinary width. They mostly play original music, but can just as easily slip in a Monk song, a pop classic or a piece of free jazz. In their interplay there is a simple obviousness and an infectious joy of playing that appeals to the most ardent jazz enthusiast as well as to less experienced listeners. In recent years, the trio has collaborated with a number of well-known musicians and artists from both pop, jazz and experimental fields, such as Gilbert Holmström, the last time they visited Fasching.
On his new album Path, the prolific and imaginative pianist Mathias Landæus’ trio has been expanded by American trumpeter Tim Hagans and saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist.
The newspaper Lira writes about the record: “This is simply a highlight for jazz cats.”
