Thomas Markusson - Open (2018) [Hi-Res]

Footprint Records is proud to present Thomas Markusson Open, a jazz project emanating from sketches by Markusson and developed in a free form by him and his three brilliant musicians in a live context. Anders Jormin writes: “In our modern times of mindfulness, yoga and all other ways of trying to deal with the unfulfilling life of constant social media and stressful work, this wonderful music opens new possibilities and elegantly shares serene horizons. I hear music for the soul. I sense and share focus, concentration- and opened minds. Music respectfully meeting time and moment itself. Music where form unfolds and the musicians, carefully in dialogue with space and silence as well as with each other, humbly yet confidently state their inner voices…”
