Mathias Landaeus - Goes A Long Long Way (2007)

One of the burgeoning Swedish jazz musicians, pianist and composer
Mathias Landaeus plays intelligent, hard hitting jazz with a dose of
humor. Landaeus was born in Sweden in 1969, and was initially
influenced by Bill Evans, Swedish folk music, Weather Report, and
the occasional jazz musicians he saw traveling through the area.
After moving to New York in 1992, he studied at the Mannes College
of Music, graduating in 1995. While in college, Landaeus had the
opportunity to play small jazz clubs in the city, building his chops
and reputation.

He assembled American bassist David Milleand, drummer Sebastian
Voegler, and fellow Swede tenor saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist for
his first album Blabete. Following the disc's release, Landaeus and
his band toured Europe before moving back to Sweden and recording
his second album, "Darling", on the Swedish label Amigo.

Excellent set of hard bob/modal.
