I know this song from the John Coltrane version from the 'Live at Birdland' album which is my favourite Coltrane album. Elvin Jones has been a big influence on how I play jazz drums and I have tried my best to create that bubbling, polyrhythmic turmoil that Elvin was the master of. The solo is pretty 'out there'.

In April 2014 I visited a recording studio with two of my favourite musicians and recorded this... Murphy McCaleb on trombone, Steve Lawson on bass and myself on drums. Andy Edwards
Summary: A great album. I'll play it many times again, currently also my "end of the day immersion" choice, where it's percolating well : )
Favorite Track: Solid State ^^^ mj323
"Moon Safari" is back with a full-length studio album after more than 10 years - not counting the interesting collaboration in 2016 with Steve Nardelli and his band "The Syn". It's the long-awaited second part of "Himlabacken", and it's in the same vein, to my delight. Once again, incredible melody arcs and lush vocal harmonies in abundance! Pontus Åkesson surprises with an AOR ballad - unusual for the band, but such a magnificent one that it became my favorite track. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
