Anyone who still doubts the raison d'ĂȘtre of jazz today, will have to adjust his opinion after listening to Waltz For Koop.

… 'cooperation', which means cooperation. In this case, it has ensured that the merchants Magnus Singmark and Oscar Simonsson have managed to break free from the conventions of both jazz and dance. No endless improvisations, but also no cold, repetitive beats. Very beautiful organic music, on a record that, due to the pleasant short length, can also be handled in one go. (MS)more
