27 Year Old Sax Wonder (essential download)...



I did the math and it looks right. This Jonas Kullhamma kid was born in 1978 and the album was recorded in '05. Here you have a nice little Swedish trio (though some of the band members may be from Norway) playing choice selections written by Americans including Trane, Charles Lloyd, Sonny Rollins and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. I believe these guys usually play more avant garde oriented music, but what you have here is pure Coltrane inspired bliss that fits into the post-bop/free-bop mold. The swing is ferocious. Take note that this is a live session as well. The smoke and fire is highly apparent in the room. Just burin' stuff here folks.

Not to make this into a debate on audio formats, but...

Why in the world would anyone prefer mp3 over FLAC? If you really wish to have mp3 you can download the lossless files first, maybe even save them, and encode yourself to mp3 for your personal use.

I'm not a huge avant garde maven, but I like the mix of music I see here. Will be back. Thanks!

Glad you seem to like the album, but sad to see you are sharing it without my permission.
I spent a lot of money making this recording, and even though several years have gone by I have still lost money on it.
If you like what I or any other musician are making, please support us by paying for the music.
If you have any respect for my music and the effort I have put into record it, please remove the download links.

Best regards,
