Mats Gustafsson has played widely with musicians from free improvised and jazz backgrounds, both in his native Sweden and abroad. Some of these associations include: a duo with Paul Lovens; various combinations with Paul Lytton, in Günter Christmann's Vario groups and festivals; in Georg Gräewe's Quintet; and in various groups with Roger Turner (1998 saw a brief tour in the UK of the trio of Gustafsson, Turner and Pat Thomas). He played in Derek Bailey's Company in 1990 in London. From the early 1990s, Gustafsson has been a regular visitor to the US, forming a particular affinity with Chicago musicians such as Hamid Drake, Michael Zerang and Ken Vandermark. |
Mouth
Eating Trees and Related Activities "Mouth Eating..., in company with masters Guy and Lovens, is nothing short of spectacular. Recorded live in a studio during a Swedish radio broadcast, this recording kicks in from the very first hushed phrases of the opening solo by Gustafsson and builds to a sustained level of intensity that never falters. Faced with masterful collaborators on the level of Guy and Lovens must be a daunting task for a young player, but Gustafsson flourishes. The three connect immediately, with a level of subtlety and detail that Guy and Lovens have grown to command over their years of collective explorations of spontaneous inventions. Rather than an interaction of give and take, the three seamlessly lock in, perfectly attuned for dynamically charged results. The music unfolds with an open sense of sonic space and incendiary tensions, moving in and out between hushed sections of delicate filigrees and dense barrages of skirling tempests. All three aptly draw from the full sonic and textural range of their instruments, from clattering keypads, scrubbed strings, and the eerie timbers of bowed saw to caterwauling cascades of reed overtones, scrabbled skeins of double bowed bass, and arcing forks of crackling toms and shimmering cymbals." -- Michael Rosenstein, Cadence Magazine 5 tracks in 54:45 minutes More Okka :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Parrot Fish Eye, (duets and trios with O'Rourke, Coleman, and Zerang) Double or Nothing (AALY & DKV Trios) Battuto (Corbett, Gustafsson, Kapsalis, Longberg-Holm) Port Huron Picnic, (Mats with Kurt Newman and Mike Gennaro) Gudira, (Barry Guy, Robert Dick, Randy Raine-Reusch) |
