Karl Str�mme Quintet - Dynalyd

Karl Str�mme's revolutionary musical approach involves playing an analog synthesizer in tandem with the trumpet. 'Dynalyd' features a classic line-up of trumpet (flugelhorn), tenor saxophone, double bass, guitar and drums. Includes a download card enabling you to download the full album.

Str�mme's beautiful compositions are inspired by the Norwegian landscape and the band's respect for the modern jazz tradition is mixed with references and influences from other musical styles. A must-have album for fans of Tord Gustavsen Trio, Jan Garbarek, Esbj�rn Svensson Trio and Lars Danielsson.

Being at the very heart of the vibrant Nordic jazz scene, what sets the Karl Str�mme Quintet apart from their contemporaries is the way their respect for the modern melodic jazz tradition is mixed with references and experiences from other musical styles, giving their music a fresh and exciting edge. Inspired by the likes of Chet Baker, Miles Davis and Kenny Wheeler, band leader and trumpeter Karl Str�mme gives the music a unique flavour with the use of an analog synthesizerr which he plays in tandem with the trumpet, and in his words 'gives simpler but stronger melodic lines when improvising - like painting with a broader paintbrush'.
