About the album: The title of this album may seem a bit misleading as bassist Lars Ekman already has played on several discs and is frequently touring the world with different bands, including Ludvig Berghe Trio, Magnus Lindgren Special Project, and earlier with Fredrik Norén Band.
But this is an introduction to Lars as a bandleader, composer and recording artist. With his quartet, which consists of some of Sweden’s best musicians, Lars serves us his own stew of modern jazz, full of swing, energy and playfulness.
