Hi everyone!
Today I'll bring you some, of many to come, musical experiences that I want to share with you.
To start with I present you with the first video from the first set that we played at Regent Pub on February 17. It is the Uncle Urri Suite. Peter got a bit confused and started his solo on the second theme. Just a curiosity since he managed to cover it up very skilfully. We played on a very low volume therefore the sound of the audience is quite audible.
Jonathan Hansson: Electric guitar
Peter Åkerberg: Electric guitar
Jesper Bergman: Electric bass
Anders Bergman: Drums
Bill Öhrström: Harmonica
Magnus Ramel: Keyboard
The second thing I present you with is the recording from the rehearsal from February 14. The first song is Happy Landing. It is quite interesting to compare this version with the one from Reformed. Things have changed quite a bit, although the record is still very "us" and very representative for our sound. We have been oriented towards a more dreamy sound. Totally without the intentions of doing so. That is the interesting part of having this kind of band and playing this kind of music. It is forever changing and you never really know into what. Very well... Here it is: Happy Landing.

One of my great heroes in jazz, apart from Miles Davis, is the drummer Tony Williams (who actually was Miles' drummer during the 60s) and especially his early work as a solo artist, Tony Williams' Lifetime. On the second album, Turn It Over (1970), Tony Williams, John McLaughlin and Larry Young are joined by, my favourite bass player, Jack Bruce. He blends into the mix beautifully with his distorted, aggressive sound. This is the music that I think about when I play with Thomas and Janne: the raw energy, the rhythmic displacement and the skilfulness. Listen to it:
Here is the first video from the first gig with Berglund, Kullhammar & Bergman Trio from February 28 at Stampen. Everything went very well and we did not save up on the energy and we did not play it safe. We kept it on the edge and relied on each other. This song was composed by Thomas and he calls it Ica Store.
Thomas Berglund: Electric guitar
Janne Kullhammar: Drums

Take care, live well and enjoy!
Jesper
