The trio - here at Jazzfest Berlin 2022 - with a flight of fancy in discrete expressionism, following on from their early works; "Neuköllner Modelle" and "Zyklus I".

Sven-Åke Johansson, born in 1943 in Mariestad (Sweden), is one of the style-defining drummers of the German free jazz era of the 60s and 70s. From the 80s onwards, he pursued an artistic path largely independent of institutions and groups as a music performer in the circles of fine arts and new music.
