Circles

The Swedish jazz band: 'Ida Karlsson Quartet' started playing together in 2009. They play only Ida Karlssons compositions and are influenced by jazz from the 1960-ies and Swedish Folk Music. Circles can be viewed as a collection of jazz influenced compositions that through the quartet's well-honed interactions become gentle, ear-pleasing music. You can also see it as a picture of changing emotional states. The feeling of longing. The central message in Circles is a feeling of hope. To jump up in a hot air balloon and drift away. To break vicious circles and patterns. To breathe fresh air. The Band consists of: Gunnar kerhielm, piano. Kristoffer Rostedt, drums. Josef Karnebck, double bass and Ida Karlsson tenor saxophone. Their first album 'TURNS' was released in 2010.
