Description:

A piano cantabile that stands quietly with an unwavering sense of beauty and pleasant reverberations. Jan Lundgren, a Swedish pianist representing the European jazz world, has completed his first trio work in five years. Light and shadow quietly emerge with beautiful melodies and touches of Scandinavian emotion. This is the first trio recording since 2009's "EUROPEAN STANDARDS" by the pianist who has been active for many years and remains very popular. This is a remarkable work that combines traditional jazz diction and improvisation, melodies unique to Scandinavia, and a rustic, indigenous flavor with a contemporary arrangement. Strayhorn's "Lush Life" is a solo performance that evokes memories of a well-honed aesthetic. The waltz "WALTZ FOR MARION," a gem of a waltz, melds a soft three-beat groove with chords that touch the heartstrings, and "MULGREW," a vibrant piece with a stable, royal trio sound, flows gorgeously with Jan Lundgren's unique touch, and the three of them play in perfect harmony. The three performers are in perfect harmony with each other.The title track, "Flowers of Sendai," is a solo performance of the rich tone of the soloist, whose colorful harmonies dance and shine like petals, and the essence of Jan, who continues to lead the jazz scene, can be heard. This is a gem of a piece that is imbued with Jan Lundgren's well-honed aesthetics, captivating with its clear tone and conspicuous beauty.
