Art Museum

12:00

Toivonen, Blomqvist, Cook
Maria Blomqvist, - voice (SWE), Chris Cook - keyboards, flute (SWE), Thomas Toivonen - guitar (SWE)

Exciting group in different touchdown. Different sound colors and personal tonspråk of instruments give these improvisatörer a wholly own profile. An exploratory music with a strong sense of form!

12:30

Peter Brötzmann solo
Peter Brötzmann - tenor and altsax, tarogato, clarinet (GER)

Taking part of a Peter Brötzmann solo concert is to be thrown into a universe where references to early jazz and indigenous music coexist with a strong, very strong personal approach to music and art. An approach where curiosity on new forms, melodies and energy-clusters creates a music that is never afraid to take a step forward to strongly mark its own expression, and with a dynamical spectrum few could to master. There is no other improviser in the contemporary music as Brötzmann is able to tell a story with his music. Who is able to overpower the moment! In the solo situation, this becomes most apparent, an old-fashioned (?) storyteller who brought the improvised music forward for decades, with a never flirting with trends or looking too much backwards.
The dedicated Present is whats counts. The burning Now!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Br%C3%B6tzmann
"Brötzmann is among the most important European free jazz musicians. His rough, lyrical timbre is easily recognized on his many recordings."

I of the Mourning
Emil Ström, electronics and machinery (SWE), Tiffany Betts, live performance (SWE), Alexandra Betts, live performance (SWE)

Extreme noise and great acoustical bodies create sound worlds of two Betts to act within. Beyond the standard to new expressions and exciting redemption!

Correction
Emil Åstrand-Melin - drums (SWE), Joacim Nyberg - double bass (SWE), Sebastian Bergström - piano (SWE)

New, young and madly exciting radical piano trio! Rarely have we heard such a free and keen piano trio in Sweden. Like an early Cecil Taylor inspired by Per Henrik Wallin Trio this trio creates just a trio-music that really takes out the limits of what a piano, bass, drums-up can do. With a few fingers and toes in the radical be-bop and with the rest of the body and soul rampant towards the future this group promises very much indeed... we are gladly waiting of what is to come!

21:00

Xavier Charles solo
Xavier Charles - clarinet (FRA)

Xavier is one of the most innovative soloists in improvised music. With a klarinetton who sometimes caresses, sometimes kicking, he puts the first massive bricks of free improvisation in which development in timbre and melodic sensitivity meets energetic waves and feelings for the small details and the changes! With a humble attitude and a strong dedication to the music he creates beautifully improvised landscapes one can walk into ... razor sharp and very precise music where improvisation is always in the center.

23:00

Peter Evans solo
Peter Evans - trumpet (USA)

As a bomb he hit into the improvisation music a few years ago. With a solo CD on Evan Parker's label "psi" he marked his incredible virtuosity. After Axel Dörner has not much happened until Peter Evans showed how the use of valves can be developed and renewed!
With a strong carved-out tonality and an attacking bit, he gets into the present and will not let go. Not since the be-bop's Clifford Brown and Fats Navarro, we have heard anything like it!
The articulated phrases, the fourth tone rich timbral passages, the rapid movements, all aims to the present of which everything is born and re-transformed!

BOX 1   

18:00

Marilyn Crispell w. Lina Nyberg, Palle Danielsson, Joakim Milder
Marilyn Crispell - piano (USA), Lina Nyberg - voice (SWE), Palle Danielsson - double bass (SWE), Joakim Milder - sax (SWE)

One of the festival specially assembled group where recurrent Marilyn Crispell now must meet three of the most distinctive Swedish jazz musicians! These three Swedish targets of creative jazz have all developed very personal languages of each instrument (and voice)
And it is precisely in the meeting, the exchange, the personal language is the most important.
A drum-less ensemble that will bring the exploration in the center.
The lyrical qualities these four contain is amazing and we are waiting with bated breath to hear how the meeting will start! A free improvised music in which the expected melodic lines take unknown paths?

20:00

Raymond Strid w. Pat Thomas, Clayton Thomas
Raymond Strid - drums (SWE), Pat Thomas - keyboards (USA), Clayton Thomas - double bass (AUS)

MC Raymond Strid face two Thomas.
Two Thomas, which both possess the ability to create strong energetical fields of sounds with a high-powered instrument technique. This will go fast.. The musical throws and decisions are likely to occur at a rate that might Usama Bin Laden to resemble a drugged killer leech. Freely improvised music by far the best brand in which normalized solutions are missing ... where a new standard is created in the moment of common agreements.

Peter Brötzmann w. Toshinori Kondo, Massimo Pupillo, Paal Nilssen-Love
Peter Brötzmann - alt and tenor sax, tarogato, clarinet (GER), Toshinori Kondo - trumpet and electronics (JPN), Massimo Pupillo - electric bass (ITA), Paal Nilssen-Love - drums (NOR)

What can be said of Peter Brötzmann that has already not been said? We leave that for others to explore. Instead, we focus on this hyper current new group with members from OffOnOff, Die Like a Dog, Zu, The Thing and Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet.
Hyper-Loaded and intensive free music that explores new territories. The members CVs are too long to be even get read during our three day of our festival, so we confine ourselves by noting that this configuration is HEAVY ... and have the potential to become another classic group around the energy galaxy who is spelled Peter Brötzmann.

Hijokaidan
Jojo Hiroshige - guitar (JPN), Junko - voice (JPN)

Hijokaidan ... a group that had enormous significance for the development of noise and experimental music, not only in Japan but also around the world where the need for acoustic resistance and questioning the musical standards and values are still large.
This group is a sensation! Ever since its inception in 1979, it has challenged and turned and turned on the concepts!
Energy and expression with an enormous focus ...
Can not be described .... Without the need to (just that!) ... Experienced!
Hijokaidan is ... MONUMENTAL!
