Berke, Johan/ Nordström, Fredrik
The meeting between a jazz quintet - Johan Berke Upstairs Five - and a brass quintet is the starting point for the music on this CD.
Johan Berke and Fredrik Nordström used the unique sound and expression of each individual group in the composing process. The result can be described as a synthesis of jazz, European contemporary classical music and free improvisation.
A commission was made in 2007 by The Swedish Arts Grants Committee for the new ensemble Arveheim/Berke Upscale Ten and the music was premiered at the concert hall in Nybrokajen 11 the same year. |
