Founded by saxophonist and composer Johan Jutterström, the Swedish septet STHLM svaga has emerged as one of the most intriguing and distinctive jazz ensembles of the 2000s. Their expertise lies in crafting jazz with remarkably soft dynamics, resulting in a wholly distinctive and captivating ensemble sound. Plays Carter, Plays Mitchell, Plays Shepp is their new release and features specially composed pieces by three iconic figures in jazz history: Ron Carter, Roscoe Mitchell, and Archie Shepp, penned exclusively for the ensemble. Alongside these pieces are compositions by Per-Henrik Wallin and John Coltrane, all expertly interpreted by the ensemble. Recorded at the renowned Atlantis Studios in Stockholm and mixed to analogue tape, the album boasts an ethereal and intimate sound. During the recording of Ron Carter’s piece, the maestro provided artistic guidance to the ensemble on site in the studio. The result is an unparalleled musical experience, showcasing an innovative concept that pushes the boundaries of jazz and post-bop. With this album, STHLM svaga is providing a fresh and mesmerizing approach to performing jazz music today. It’s as if they’re encouraging us to listen closer in order to hear more; to become more sensitive and thereby find more layers and nuances.
