One of the burgeoning Swedish jazz musicians, pianist and composer Mathias Landæus plays intelligent, hard hitting jazz with a dose of humor. Landaeus was born in Sweden in 1969, and was initially influenced by Bill Evans, Swedish folk music, Weather Report, and the occasional jazz musicians he saw traveling through the area.

This recording is absolutely exceptional and quickly became one of my references. The effort that Todd Garfinkle puts into the recording process is apparent as soon as you hear the first note being played. There is a truly stunning sense of space and natural instrumental decay that transports you to the recording venue. The music is very engaging as well, unlike so many other “audiophile” recordings which have content that is often musically not up to the standards of the recording. If you have a DAC that supports the 24 bit/176.4 kHz format you really have to hear this title in all its glory. It is well worth the asking price to hear such excellent music so well performed and recorded, to be able to appreciate the level of sonic performance that your system is actually capable of reproducing.
