Klas Lindquist Nonet - You Need It (2010)

To write music and to have it played by my favorite musicians and friends is incredibly gratifying for me.

This band was put together with each musician’s style and personality in mind with the intention of giving the music depth and variety. Listen, for example, to Fredrik Lindborg’s swinging and powerful baritone sax on “The Intimacy of the Bluesö, Nils Janson’s introspective trumpet playing on “You’re My Everythingö or Robert Nordmark’s fiery tenor sax on “Abstract Bluesö.

The previous record Lift Off was comprised solely of my original music. This CD also includes music composed by Petter Carlson and Robert Nordmark as well as some jazz standards which I arranged. It depicts how the band sounded during a tour of Sweden in the spring of 2009.

As the listener you are seated directly in front of the band during a live concert. You get the opportunity to absorb the energy which the band projects live through it’s tight ensemble playing, exciting solos, interplay and bold approach.Thank you for listening to the music.

It needs you!
