“Crime Jazz”, “Jazz for a new generation” & “slow-burn yearning widescreen chamber pop” . There are many ways trying to describe the unique sound of reedplayer Thomas Backman´s band. In the group, founded in 2016, Backman have put together some of his favorite musicians, all of them award winning, well-known Swedish musicians to an “all-star”-unit. In August 2018 the debutalbum “Did You Have a Good Day, David?” was released on the label Modern Musik. The dynamic arrangements, the intimate interplay and the carefully crafted mixes makes this album a pioneering, unique and “outside the box” voice in the jazzgenre today. Rated 4/5 ” All the music on the album is done with care, precision and warmth”- Jan Gradvall Dagens Industri Rated 4/5 ”A personal music that breaks the imagination of traditional improvisation without templates or copying something else”–Göran Olson Gefle Dagblad ”They played their proverbial asses off, generating an intensity that suggested that playing this music represented an essential cathartic process”-Ian Mann, The Jazz Mann “Each player was a creative mastermind, maximizing their possible range and output. Whether teetering into techno, bursting into bombast, or coasting quietly on a beautiful melody, the quartet had the audience rapt for the full hour.”-Eli Stein, Nys Music ”We think of Kamasi Washington. But this swings a lot more than Washington” -Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts
