Taken from Lars Danielsson: Per, Lars, and Henrik are the core of the original version of Funk Unit (with Nils Landgren) where they together created a raw, wild, and unpredictable framework to their a little bit different view of the genre funk/jazz. Albums such as Redhorn and Live In Stockholm with Maceo Parker are examples of some of the influences that they have “marinated” in their long-standing collaboration with Michael Ruff, Randy Brecker, Brenda Russel, etc. StudioTan emerged out of the desire to continue building on common experiences and create a collective musical frame on a platform where they could meet and create musical moments for themselves and their audience.
