On this ‘Duo Art’ disc with Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren, however, the beat is pared back: there’s groove in Lundgren’s fingers when he raps out Lennon and McCartney’s ‘I Will’ for Landgren to trill the words out over with huskily romantic feeling, but the project is perhaps more closely defined by the traditional ‘Byssan Lull’, a beautiful, bluesy take on a Swedish folk tune with moments of crystalline stillness – hence the album title, presumably.

Trombonist/vocalist Nils Landgren and pianist Jan Lundgren unite for an intimate and multifaceted program as their set consists of two distinct yet compatible decks of cards, shuffled into each other. One of those decks is instrumental, the other vocal. Superb
