By their deep complicity, this duo has meticulously shaped a sparkling musical diamond with multiple nuances. The sound universe of "Kristallen" delights in the moment when the surfaces and edges of the crystals shimmer, and during which unexpected colors emerge. There is a certain calm, and also room for the imagination to unfold. Nils Landgren and Jan Lundgren have a coherent vision of lyrical chamber jazz that flows gently and naturally. Rather than demanding our attention, it is music that reveals its true beauty when listened to attentively. Their instinctive way of interacting could already be admired in their tribute to Leonard Bernstein, "Some Other Time." Today, their sixth sense, their authentic approach, and their taste for the same musical styles are all the more evident. A Nordic spirit, deeply romantic emotions, impressionistic coloring, and an affirmation of the American jazz tradition: all of this permeates "Kristallen" and brings it a special magic.
