Inner Spirits

Description

Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren and Brazilian guitarist Yamandu Costa might seem like an unlikely duo, the combination of guitar and piano being delicate. However, their affinity and chemistry are truly exceptional. Yamandu Costa plays with elegance, harmonic fluidity, and a deep knowledge of Latin American music. For his part, Jan Lundgren has contributed greatly to European jazz over the past two decades, notably through his role in the Mare Nostrum trio. "Inner Spirits" is an album where the incredible symbiosis and constant role-swapping between lead and secondary voice is always magically organic. Their affinity comes in part from their shared interest in melody sharing. The winning combination of Jan Lundgren and Yamandu Costa's empathy, mutual respect, and virtuosity has produced a magnificent project that is destined to become one of the great piano and guitar albums.
