BECHES BREW BIG

The quintet from Bengt Berger’s much praised last album Beches Brew has grown to nine members in this live recording from two nights in Stockholm and Gothenburg. The mix of tradition and new modes of expression, as well as the impulses from some of the great traditions of the world, and the collective approach to ensembles and solo work shows a strong relationship to Charles Mingus’ way of making music.
