  • Description

    From one of Sweden's preeminent jazz bassists, Svante Soderqvist's second solo release The Rocket is an album that reflects the difficult times we live in, with a constantly worsening climate crisis, increased political instability and polarization, a lack of humanity and sustainable thinking. The title is multi-faceted, alluding to the war in Ukraine, but also suggesting a reborn space race - as if it were easier to move to Mars than to make sure that we humans can maintain a long-term sustainable existence here on earth. In the middle of it all sits Svante Soderqvist and his fellow musicians, who contribute to the fight against climate change, for example by touring without air transport. All the while aiming for the stars and doing everything to reach out and touch people, spreading hope and faith in the future. Svante's compositions are unique, with a distinctive sense of melody and melancholy. The sentimental yet hopeful music reaches right into the soul. Intimate, atmospheric jazz with a scent of the Swedish woods, that puts life's big questions on the line. Warm sounds from a fantastically fine vinyl!
