About the CD "CONNECTION":

..."bassist Ulf Radelius goes one better on this CD and makes arrangements of Swedish folk songs the focus of the recording. Swedish folk songs are simple lyrical creations and Radelius creates imaginative jazz backgrounds for them that work remarkably well."
Muse / Ireland

"The melodies and the feeling (of folk music) is still there although the rest is modernized."
"The lonely cottage is an attractive minor melody that makes itself complete justice also in this version."
"Folkish is sensitively performed on duo by RÃ¥delius and drummer Keith Copeland."
