Swedish newspaper Värmlands Folkblad wrote the first album review, and what a great review it is! You can read the original in Swedish, or a translated English version below.
What a debut from this sextet. Three horn players up front: Kristian Persson, trombone (who also have composed and arranged the delicious music), Jens Filipsson, saxophones/flute and Jonne Bentlöv, trumpet, sound so good together, and on their own, that the hairs on my neck stand up all the time. Here is a brilliant rhythm section and keys from the golden age of funk. Also, all of them seems to be raised up on soul stew from Memphis. Add to this some nice string passages and a beautiful intervention from Nils Berg on bass clarinet, and a 5 of 5 score is not far away. You can no longer count the Swedish jazz stars.
