The
Swedish jazz group Horncraft consists of Håkan Nyqvist & Eva-Tea
Lundberg (French horn), Erik Palmberg (trumpet & braces), Örjan Hultén
(tenor & soprano sax), Sven Berggrén (trombone), Torbjörn Gulz (piano),
Filip Augustson (bass ) and Henrik Jäderberg (drums). I received their latest album through Håkan Nyqvist. He used to play with various ensembles such as The Swedish Radio Jazz Group, but also recorded with jazz artists such as Lars Gullin, Monica Zetterlund and Nils Lindberg.
He recorded several albums with Grammy Award winner Bernt Rosengren, but also played with Swedish jazz pianist Per Henrik Wallin. He met his idol, Kenny Wheeler, on tour with James Last.
Now he has looked inside himself and found his own style. This resulted in this special ensemble sound, with playful and strong melodies. In addition, there is also plenty of room for soloists in each track.
An album that will certainly appeal to fans of jazzy wind instruments.
