4 Wheel Drive

Description

A quartet at the top of European jazz featuring Nils Landgren, Michael Wollny, Lars Danielsson and Wolfgang HaffnerFour of the greatest musicians in current European jazz, Nils Landgren, Michael Wollny, Lars Danielsson, and Wolfgang Haffner, who have known each other well and appreciated each other's work for many years, decided to record an album together, "4 Wheel Drive," at Nilento Studio in Gothenburg. While their paths have crossed many times in various configurations, this is the very first time they are together as a quartet. The album title reflects the equal role each of the four musicians played in guiding the quartet. They hit the road together, both as superb soloists and as team players. In addition to an original composition from each of them, Landgren, Wollny, Danielsson, and Haffner also decided to focus on four legends of recent music history and interpret their tunes: Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Phil Collins, and Sting. "4 Wheel Drive" is an ensemble with a high-performance four-cylinder engine where each part fits perfectly, fueled by jazz.
