Encore

Jazz in Sweden – 1990

At the end of 1989, a jury of ten well-known figures within the Swedish jazz world chose the group Encore to put together the 1990 Jazz i Sverige (Jazz in Sweden) recording on Caprice Records. Encore consisted of five of Sweden’s most prominent jazz musicians: Jonas Knutsson, soprano and alto saxophone: Max Schultz, guitar; Anders Persson, piano; Christian Spering, bass; and Magnus Grahn, drums.

 The group plays their own compositions, which are, to some extent, influenced by Nordic folk music. It is melodic, improvised music, deeply rooted in the traditions of jazz, but with contemporary sounds and expressions. The music is imprinted with a strong group feeling, built on interplay, sensitivity, and flexibility.
