We're gonna give you a taste of a little stuff we call...

... Reform music!

We had a wonderful rehearsal on January 24. Two newly born songs opened their eyes and saw the light! The first one I call Kytter. Kytter is an internal joke between my brither Anders and Peter. I won't even try to explain how the joke works, but it is really really strange and originates from a dish served on Anders' birthday party. The second one Peter suggested should be called Mitsuhirato. That's a character from the Tintin comic book Blue Lotus. Mitsuhirato is a very strange Japanese type and I lately have been referring to him on various occasions and because of that Peter suggested the song should be called Mitsuhirato.

Sorry about all the strange explanations!

Anyway, here they are. The personnel is as follows:

Jesper Bergman: electric bass
Anders Brgman: Drums
Micke Hujanen: Guitar
Peter Åkerberg: Guitar
Magnus Ramel: Keyboard
Mattias Lennestig: Keyboard

Fellow reformers!

Hope you have had a happy new year's eve!

the first thing that happened this year was that RadioIndy published a review of the re-released album Easy. Easy was the first Reform album and it was released in 2001.



Here is the review:

"Easy" by Reform (Jazz Artist from Sweden)

The talented group Reform and their fabulous CD, "Easy," captures the essence of instrumental Jazz with sophisticated style and grace. Reform is not only a creative group, but their Jazzy style has originality as some songs emit Avant Garde tonality with intense precision. The opener, "Six," has a smooth groove with a melodic guitar, sweet electric piano, funky bass riffs, and soft drum brushes. The song, "Baker," features expressive percussive drums and silky guitars that weave a melodic melody with a rich relaxing quality. "Scapegrace," is another song with finely tuned drums that meld with the electric piano and funky bass while the guitars interject harmonious riffs. Fans of superb instrumental Jazz music will thoroughly enjoy the delectable compositions on the album, "Easy."
