Sir Thomas Jäderlund: Plays Jazz

Buy album Apple Music Spotify

Sir Thomas Jäderlund is a much appreciated member of Beches Brew. In 2014 I released an album of Ornette and Mingus tunes with his trio. Samples can be heard at the C&E page for the album

Sir Thomas’ nine emotions

There is love, there is joy, there is compassion in the music of Sir Thomas Jäderlund and his truly amazing trio. In their jazz music you will find anger, bravery and fear as well. Eight modern classics by Charles Mingus and Ornette Coleman also leave space for disgust, surprise and peace of mind. You will be lucky to find all the nine emotions (Navarasa) known from the ancient Indian art world in this album by Sir Thomas Jäderlund and his Amazing Trio.

The album houses these masterpieces:
Fables of Faubus, Sue’s Changes, Ecclusiastics and So Long Eric by Charles Mingus plus Tears Inside, Blues Connotation, Lorraine and Mind and Time by Ornette Coleman.

Together with Peter Janson on double bass and Göran Kroon on drums, swedish saxophone maestro Sir Thomas Jäderlund on alto and sopranino saxophones displays the complete spectrum of emotions that can be so well expressed in the nakedness of the jazz trio. This takes courage as well. Here is a slide show of his facial expressions.
