Mats Gustafsson
Tolbooth Auditorium, 9.30pm
The Sten Sandell trio with John Berthling and Paal Nilssen-Love has been making brilliant purposeful assaults on the free jazz idiom for over ten years now. Sandell performed with Gustafsson in the earlier trio Gush and we are excited to see Mats joining this explosive trio for the first visit to Le weekend of Sandell. Also the idea of a Hammond trio and Gustafsson will bring the first day of a special Le Weekend to a very fi tting and exciting close. Don’t expect quite Jimmy Smith but expect sparks to fly from the crunching Hammond sound. Sandell brings a huge openness to the music taking as much from Cage and Xenakis as from the improvising world. Nilssen-Love creates the most compelling rhythmic narratives around. All three plus Gustafsson on board have grown an almost telepathic understanding of their musical ground.
Sten Sandell - hammond organ & piano
Johan Berthling - acoustic bass
Paal Nilssen-Love - drums & percussion
