I've just got back from the Bangkok Jazz Festival. A comfortable 25 degress, all outside, great sound system and free-flowing beer -perfect.
The last act on stage was the Nils Landgren Funk Unit - man that guy can play trombone! Intelligent lines played at a fleeting speed and full of emotion.
The sax player (tenor sax) was a Swedish guy called Magnus Lindgren. A completely different player from the sax player from the previous band, Blood Sweat & Tears. The BS&T's sax player played pristine, Breckeresque solos in a poised and polished way. Magnus Lindgren played with a freeness and openess that was truly refreshing in contrast - a constant stream of original ideas over modal grooves with very little changes.
He has won awards in his native Sweden and has a few albums out under his own name.
Has anybody else heard this guy play?
