"If you love the era in which electronic elements began to enter contemporary jazz, you'll LOVE what Sweden's Dennis Egberth has been creating. The esteemed drummer/composer introduces us to his hand-chosen ensemble, The Dennis Egberth Dynasty, in the artist's first album with 577 Records. The self-titled release highlights his creativity, painting a hypnotic soundscape that soothes the soul.
Experimental wizard Dennis Egberth is known for his distinguished approach to experimental music, free improv, and alternative pop, as well as his fascinating skills in blending cosmic composition and chilled ambient and electronic sounds. He presents floating melodies of irresistible bass lines and long, modal buildups that come alive with exploding lyricism. His new record highlights his compositional roots and was inspired by the evolution of electronics in this genre during the late '60s and '70s.
Egberth fused his talents with those of Fredrik Ljungkvist on tenor sax and clarinet, Niklas Barno on trumpet, Alexander Zethson on Wurlitzer, Linus Hillborg on electronics, and double bassist Joe Williamson, forming an unforgettable sextet. Together, they're more like a thriving ecosystem than anything else. Each member brings critical elements from their dynamic roles in the Swedish and European creative music scene and contributes them to the manifestation of a higher wave of sound unlike any other."-577 Records

Best, just simply because he is the musician most far away from defining something with being best, or worse for that part. Pure honesty, in its best way. Or worse way. As honest is neither good or bad. Niklas is. And is becoming. Niklas is human. This is heard in his playing; the haunting crescendo of thoughts, spanning over 50.000 years, blown out through the mouthpiece of his trumpet. Why? What? Who? How? Now? He is his own foghorn (Mistlur). Clearing out the dim and artificial with ignited instinct. He is the leader of the herd of musicians, Je Suis!. And active in groups like Kege Snö, Snus, Se&Hör... Niklas Barnö and Joel Grip has known each other since they learned how to crawl musically and have been crucial for the development of their music as heard playing together as well as in the music organized together; Umlaut Records Sweden and unique festival Hagenfesten in Dala-Floda." ^ Hide Bio for Niklas Barno • Show Bio for Alexander Zethson "Alexander Zethson has completed the bachelor performance programme in jazz at KMH and is currently studying at the second year of the master's programme with Lisa Ullén as his primary instrument teacher.
