A majority of the album’s compositions are by Svante Henryson, a unique musician with a unique background; Oslo Philharmonic Principal Double Bass chair, electric bass player with Yngwie Malmsteen’s band, self-taught cellist who has collaborated with Elvis Costello, Anne Sofie von Otter and many more. Named “Jazz Musician of the Year” by Sveriges Radio in 2014. Some would describe the music heard here as “contemporary jazz”; others might call it “progressive chamber music”. We call it Music for Trio.
