PRE-ORDER: Spacening [CD]

From Bass Trombone to Frontman - Niclas Rydh Finally in the SpotlightThis fall, Niclas Rydh releases his debut album. It is titled Spacening and is the result of a life spent in the service of music.The compositions are written with the rhythm section in mind - Kjell Jansson (bass) and Anders Kjellberg (drums) - two musicians Rydh has admired since the early 1990s. The pieces are constructed with their unique sound and groove in mind, giving the music a rare sense of interplay.And the harmonies? They are anything but conventional. Inspired by classical modernism - Stravinsky, Alban Berg, and their harmonic explorations. It is a fascinating balancing act between tradition and innovation.
