Berger Knutsson Spering - Up Close (2011)

“isn’t that the way a living tradition should be, infusing all branches of music, not ghettoised?” – Andrew Cronshaw, fRoots

Our favourite BKS album, released in 2006 was recorded in an lovely session at the famous “La Buissonne” studio in Provence. It contains inspired inprovisation, free as well as based on folk music and a beautiful piece by Paul Motian.
