A straight ahead American spirit marks this session. Playing a set of Jansson’s music, there’s a distinctly conventional beauty alongside some real swingers. Tenor saxophonist Gilbert Holmström plays with a simple, large, hearty tone (at times I was reminded of Charlie Rouse) and the band is a tight, mature unit. On the up tempo numbers (“Greenpeace,” for example) Carlsson and Jansson are outstanding, unequivocal, swiftly swinging. Indeed, ... is well-played and intelligent modern Jazz.
