Nils Landgren - Sentimental Journey
Nils Landgren hails from the often overlooked source of music Sweden. Playing a custom made red trombone from yamaha Landgren's release sees an album of covers performed in his own unique stylings. These covers all form some sort of sentimentality within Landgren.
Included in the compilation is a haunting cover of Leon Russell's 'This Masquerade', and 'Should I Care' by some unkown pianist called Clint Eastwood (yes, that Clint Eastwood). The Sting track Fragile is a phenominally moving duet with Swedish vocalist Rigmor Gustafsson and is by far one of my favourite tracks on the album.
Other collaborators on the album include Viktoria Tolstoy on 'Be There For You', and Esbjorn Svensson, a well known jazz pianist and frequent contibutor of Landgren's albums.
A superbly produced ACT release, this is one album that will show off your system but also show it's weaker points. Great for late night, solo listening sessions and dinner parties, Sentimental Journey's relaxed emotion is just the thing for those who wish to take things easy for a while.
