About the music above...
¤ Live at Ugglan is a outake from a consert Christine Sehnaoui (alto saxophone), Behir Saadé (bass clarinet) and me (double-bass) did at Ugglan, Stockholm in 2006. This was one of the many ad-hoc constellations we arranged during two day, while having MOUKHTABAR ensemble in Stockholm. Enjoy!
¤ Trio part I is a piece recorded in the end of August starring Emil Strandberg (trumpet), Sten Sandell (piano) and me on double-bass.
¤ Seven, Seventeen is a piece from Strandberg/Thorman/Olssons latest release. The track is recorded live in Malmö at club Spisa and is the closing-track on the album “Twenty-two, twenty-six”, wich has received various distinctions. Check this out: Worst Band Ever . The track is starring Emil Standberg on trumpet, Me on prepared double-bass and Henrik Olsson on stringed snare drum, cymbals, mixing board, contact microphones and loudspeaker and other things.
The album this track was taken from, is avaliable for purchase from RRR
¤ Two, Eleven, is a free improvisation and the closing-track on The Sound of Music's debut album "4 januari 2006". The track is starring Emil Standberg on trumpet, Me on double-bass and Ola Hultgren on drums.

¤ Carolina (Vacker) is an old piece of mine recorded live at Teaterstudio Lederman, Stockholm in 2007. The song is starring Niklas Persson (alto saxophone), Harlad Aamodt Aadland (piano), Andreas Håkestad (drums) and me on double-bass.
