After the extensive retrospective of his ACT years, which, in three albums (3 Generations), offered a magnificent overview of his innumerable talents through a series of prestigious collaborations, trombonist, singer, composer, producer, and conductor Nils Landgren returns to the stylistic unity of the supergroup that he’s been a part of since 2019. He’s joined by some of his most loyal companions from the label (Michael Wollny on piano and Wolfgang Haffner on drums, both German, as well as Swedish bassist Lars Danielsson) to record the second volume of their alliance, following 4 Wheel Drive.
With an eclectic repertoire that mixes original compositions with covers of pop songs by Paul Simon (“Still Crazy After All These Years,” “The Sound of Silence”), Genesis (“Hold On My Heart”), Sting (“Fields of God”), or even Elton John (“My Song”), the quartet deploys the same sharp attention to detail that they do on their first record. Placing his delightfully fragile voice or the rippling swirls of his trombone within a sophisticated frame of arrangements that are never ostentatious or abstractly deconstructivist, Landgren shows gratitude toward the melodic seduction of these songs, making space for his companions to make subtle digressions (notably, Michael Wollny, often taking the lead with dazzling interventions). Depending on the track, he is able to take the ensemble with him toward a more modernist chamber jazz, or, in the opposite direction toward a pop music that’s at once nostalgic and carefree. © Stéphane Ollivier/Qobuz
