“all playing with the immense subtlety and deep knowledge of the material” – Andrew Cronshaw, fRoots

Swedish saxophone great Jonas Knutsson has been leading this group with some of the best of the young swedish folk musicians for two years in a music that flows from the traditional to the newly composed and from the strictly arranged to the freely improvised. Six saxophones plus bass and percussion – you haven’t heard anything like it before.

Here is an animated short film with Lorikspolskan:
