Nils LandgrenÆs ████ ████ nickname is apt. It brings to mind the fiery, ████ ████ coruscating energy with which the charismatic, ████ ████ soulful trombonist leads his Funk Unit. And yet ████ ████ there are many other facets to this hugely ████ ████ popular Swedish musician. In the course of a ████ ████ 40-year career, he has taken on many roles, ████ ████ producing albums, directing festivals, leading ████ ████ big bands, teaching in universities... ████ ████ ████ ████ And yet his musical personality also has a very ████ ████ different side, one that is much more delicate ████ ████ and softer. Ithas previously come to the fore ████ ████ in various contexts, notably at the end of the ████ ████ 1990s in his duo with Esbjoern Svensson and ████ ████ their groundbreaking interpretations of Swedish ████ ████ folk music on the albums "Swedish Folk Modern" ████ ████ and "Layers Of Light". He has also increasingly ████ ████ nurtured it as a singer of ballads, with a very ████ ████ appealing warmth and lyricism. These have also ████ ████ been the defining characteristics of the ████ ████ Christmas programmes which he has created every ████ ████ two years since 2006 on the "Christmas With My ████ ████ Friends" tour and album series. And it is this ████ ████ contemplative and melodic dimension to ████ ████ LandgrenÆs work which is now placed front and ████ ████ centre stage. Here is a genuine premiere: Nils ████ ████ Landgren's first ever solo album. ████ ████ ████ ████ The fact that ôNature Boyö, the otherworldly ████ ████ song made famous by Nat King Cole, became the ████ ████ albumÆs title track is no accident: it is about ████ ████ a "strange boy" who has "wandered very far over ████ ████ land and sea " to realise that the most ████ ████ precious thing is "to love and be loved in ████ ████ return ". These sentiments are analogous to the ████ ████ story of how the album itself came into ████ ████ existence. On 13 March 2020, Nils Landgren had ████ ████ returned to Skillinge in southern Sweden from ████ ████ Hamburg, having taken the last flight before ████ ████ borders closed and Europe went into lockdown. ████ ████ For a person who in normal circumstances would ████ ████ hardly ever spend a whole week in the same ████ ████ place, Landgren suddenly and unexpectedly found ████ ████ himself for several months with his wife Bea in ████ ████ their old house near the coast. A "strange but ████ ████ personally wonderful time", as Landgren ████ ████ remembers, but around Christmas-time he began ████ ████ to miss the "Christmas With My Friends" tour ████ ████ that would normally have been happening. So he ████ ████ suggested to Bea that he might at least play ████ ████ and record alone for her in the church. She ████ ████ immediately loved the idea. ████ ████ ████ ████ Landgren put in a request to the priest at the ████ ████ church nearby, Ingelstorps Kyrka. The priest, ████ ████ Maria, ensured that the church would be heated ████ ████ and that everything would be ready for ████ ████ Landgren. And then, when the moment came and he ████ ████ played the first solo notes û "only me, myself ████ ████ and my trombone" û it was almost a shock: "Such ████ ████ a beautiful sound, making the tone of my ████ ████ trombone just fly through time and space. Bea ████ ████ and I looked at each other in silence, knowing ████ ████ that this can become something special." ████ ████ ████ ████ It was also special because Landgren only chose ████ ████ pieces with a personal significance for him. In ████ ████ the first instance there are the traditional ████ ████ Swedish songs such as "Allt under himmelens ████ ████ faeste" (everything under the sky) or ████ ████ "Vaermlandsvisan" (Vaermland song), which he had ████ ████ sung in church as a child û and also "Den ████ ████ blomstertid nu kommer" (now comes flowering ████ ████ time), written in the 17th century by Israel ████ ████ Kolmodin, an ancestor of LandgrenÆs. Then there ████ ████ are are traditional songs which were around ████ ████ when he was setting out as an instrumentalist, ████ ████ such as the German "Der Mond ist aufgegangen" ████ ████ (the moon has risen) and "Morning Has Broken", ████ ████ made famous by Cat Stevens, but in fact a hymn ████ ████ tune from Mull in Scotland; then two Duke ████ ████ Ellington songs û "In a Sentimental Mood" and ████ ████ "Solitude" û which had once sparked his love of ████ ████ jazz and big band music; one of his own early ████ ████ compositions "A Minor"; and finally two ████ ████ wonderful songs by the Swedish ballad singer ████ ████ and national icon Evert Taube. The album ends ████ ████ with TaubeÆs lullaby "Sov pσ min arm" (sleep on ████ ████ my arm), which Landgren heard very often as a ████ ████ child. ████ ████ ████ ████ As Landgren hoped and predicted, ôNature Boy" ████ ████ has indeed become something very special, and ████ ████ in several respects. It shows him from a side ████ ████ that "is always there, but not always to be ████ ████ seen", as he says. Inevitably, the listener is ████ ████ drawn in by the depth of feeling, reinforced by ████ ████ the serenity of Landgren's playing and the ████ ████ freedom of the arrangements with which he gives ████ ████ new form and meaning to the songs. And there is ████ ████ also the magical power of the sound of the ████ ████ trombone in the reverberant acoustic 19th ████ ████ century church. Landgren had never recorded ████ ████ alone before. With its genesis in the ████ ████ circumstances of a specific time, this solo ████ ████ statement looks back at a 40-year career and ████ ████ illuminates it with sounds that are timeless. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ▄▀▀███▓▄ ▄▓███▀▀▄ ████ ████ ■ ███▓█ .···.
