     Duo - it's the most reduced way of making music together. At the
     same time it can open a whole musical world without borders. Two
     musicians acting as one and in a dialogue at the same time. Call and
     response - it's jazz in its purest form. Sometimes less is more. The
     sound world of "Kristallen" relishes the moment when the surfaces
     and edges of crystals shimmer and cast off unexpected colours. There
     is a certain stillness, and also room for the imagination to unfold.
     Magic with fragility.

     Nils Landgren and Jan Lundgren have a consistent vision of lyrical
     chamber jazz which flows gently and naturally. Rather than
     clamouring for our attention, this is music which reveals its true
     beauty the more attentively one listens. The tone of the album is
     set from the opening track, "Blekinge", a reminiscence of the
     tranquil part of Sweden from which Jan Lundgren hails. It is
     sublimely light yet thoughtful, a subtle musical language which
     draws on Swedish folk music and tinges it with jazz.

     The next track "Byssan Lull" follows on seamlessly: a solemnly
     intoned folk melody develops into a lively blues. "Hornlatar"
     features delightful interplay between trombonist and pianist who
     take some of the traditional short horn calls from the Swedish
     tradition and subtly adapt them. This track brings back memories of
     the 1997 duo recording with Esbjorn Svensson, "Swedish Folk Modern".
     Two other pieces also have a profound personal significance for Nils
     Landgren: "Olu" was on his album "Gotland" (1996), recorded with
     Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko who died in 2018. Finally,
     "Varmlandsvisan" is a homage to LandgrenÆs native land.

     In addition to his own compositions, Jan Lundgren has included tunes
     by two inspirational pianists: "Country" by Keith Jarrett and "The
     Wedding" by Abdullah Ibrahim. To complete the selection, there are
     also pieces from the Great American Songbook and Beatles songs. The
     wonderfully instinctive way in which Nils Landgren and Jan Lundgren
     interact could already be admired on the Leonard Bernstein tribute
     "Some Other Time".

     Now with just the two of them, their sixth sense, their authentic
     feeling for the same musical styles is all the more evident. A
     Nordic spirit, deeply romantic emotions, impressionistic colouring
     and an affirmation of the American jazz tradition: all of these
     pervade "Kristallen" and bring a special magic to it. Through their
     deep affinity and their cohesion, this duo has meticulously shaped a
     radiant and many-hued musical diamond.
