Band - Nils Berg's The Stoner

Nils Berg's THE STONER / DK, S (Modern Jazz aus Skandinavien):
Nils Berg (ts, bcl, fl, comp.), Jonas Östholm (p), Nils Ölmedal (b), Jon Fält (dr).

Since their debut in 2004 The Stoner has released four albums, and grown to something of a creative centre of the new nordic jazz movement. With an outstanding charisma they deal with the jazz tradition with a playfulness inspired rather by The Beatles than John Coltrane.
- A concert with the Stoner should feel like a good thriller. Exciting, beautiful and unpredictable. Although we play encores, you don't get that at the cinemas.
Nils Berg, composer and director of the band, places the music somewhere between The Beach Boys, Broadway and "the good old swedish angst".
