Sweet Jazz Trio - Live (2002)

Mats Larsson - Guitar; Lasse Törnqvist - Trumpet; Hans Backenroth - Bass.

The pianist Teddy Wilson mentions in his autobiography that the expression "jazz chamber music" was probably first used by John Hammond when describing the music of the Benny Goodman Trio - with clarinet, piano and drums.

Without making any other comparison I would say that the instrumention of the SWEET JAZZ TRIO is even more of a chamber music character, due to the absence of drums, and the velvety and mellow guitar and double bass sound. This becomes apparent when you hear the SWEET JAZZ TRIO live. We can turn the volume down to "almost silence" - as one critic expressed it. Our type of music fits nicely into the intimacy of a room with perfect acoustic conditions. Play the CD and you are inviting the soft sound of the SWEET JAZZ TRIO into your own home!
