“Stockholm Underground” is a homage to one of the greats of the jazz flute – Herbie Mann – and to his legendary 1969 album “Memphis Underground”, listed by Rolling Stone in 2013 in the “100 Best Jazz Albums” of all time.

The key figure in this project is evidently Magnus Lindgren, a stalwart of the Stockholm jazz scene, and known in the role he has had for many years as a member of the Nils Landgren Funk Unit. Lindgren is not just a hugely gifted saxophonist, he is also probably the best jazz flautist in Europe. He is also in the driving seat here as composer/arranger, having penned eight of the twelve tracks on the album.

What emerges is a tribute to Herbie Mann which is contemporary, and always on the money. Mann’s variety of Memphis soul-jazz lives on in this new take – refreshed with Swedish cool. Special guests include Eric Bibb, Till Bronner, Nils Landgren and Ida Sand.
