Bobo Stenson remains one of the most sophisticated and rewarding jazz pianists on the planet, even in a jazz age containing so many remarkable ones…Fält is the creative wild card in the Swedish threesome. Jormin is intonationally near-perfect, has a low-end roar like an alpine horn, can play swerving microtonal runs that suggest a sitar, and is as gracefully conversational as any bassist in Europe…" says Guardian’s (UK) Jazz Critique, John Fordham (2006, oct. 13th)

First establishing himself within the European jazz scene on moving to Stockholm in 1966 and making a name for himself, playing with a long line of luminaries including Dextor Gordon, George Russell, Don Cherry and Stan Getz before beginning a long association with the German record label ECM led by producer Manfred Eicher becoming a vital member of several groundbreaking groups those with the Jan Garbarek / Bobo Stenson quartet as well as Charles Lloyd and Tomasz Stanko, Bobo Stenson is a household word (for more information: www.ecmrecords.com)
