Lasse Lindgren Hip Bop Constellation: Walkin’ Around

When this record was released in 1999 the jazz columnist Göran Olson, among other things, wrote:
”Lasse's material is original without any direct sources or models. His music simply belong to the group. There is a tone and rhythm appealing to urbane city music and a nordic timbre with sounds where pulse and beat swings between calmness and storm. Ingredients from Hip Hp and jazz meet within an expandable framework which will sustain rhythmic variations and soloist's challenges.”

Musicians

Lasse Lindgren trumpet, Jukka Perko saxophone, Dane Nolgård keyboard, Johan Öjen guitar, Yasuhito Mori double bass, David Sundby drums, Erik Qvick percussion.
