Alexander Hawkins / Elaine Mitchener Quartet «Uproot» (Intakt)
Henning Bolte comments:
Mitchener unites traces of Jeanne Lee, Betty Carter, Cathy Berberian, Brigitte Fontaine, Anca Parghel and even Billie Holiday in a highly fascinating, movable and pointed way in her highly dynamic, brisk and boisterous stage action. It is so much more than just vocalizing and singing. She can switch rapidly between leading and following and always manages to take the audience with her.
Patrik Sandberg, Orkester Journalen (Sweden):
Goran Kajfes Tropiques «Enso» (Headspin Recordings)
Patrik Sandberg comments:
Goran Kajfes new quartet Tropiques performs new music influenced by minimalism and modern dance. Tropiques plays with the time concept and puts us in musical hypnosis, uniting intellect and rhythm. Tropiques are Kajfes – trumpet and synth, Alexnder Zethson – organ, piano, synth, Johan Holmegard – drums and Johan Berthling – bass.
