Discography
The Revoid Ensemble
Klas Nevrin keys & electronics · Anna Lindal violin · Eivind Lønning trumpet · Audrey Chen cello & voice · Per Texas Johansson reeds · Katt Hernandez violin · Vilhelm Bromander double bass · Ricard Österstam drums
"When the overhead lights came on and the stage slowly began to empty, I felt that I just wanted to float in Revoid Ensemble's universe until the day I die… With The Revoid Ensemble, Klas Nevrin has surpassed himself."
Johan Jacobsson · Orkesterjournalen
Live at Lederman
Klas Nevrin piano, harpzither & keys · Per Texas Johansson reeds · Katt Hernandez violin · Vilhelm Bromander double bass · Ricard Österstam drums
"The highly original compositions and masterful performances suggest that supernatural forces were in motion … a new arresting sonic aesthetic … a provocative listening experience that does not commit itself to any school. (★★★★½)"
Eyal Hareuveni · All About Jazz
TEN
Fredrik Ljungkvist's large ensemble · Klas Nevrin piano & harpzither · with Sofia Jernberg, Mats Äleklint, and others
"A stunning debut. It's like nothing else I heard in 2013."
Peter Margasak · DownBeat
Honeyleap
Klas Nevrin piano/harpzither · Fredrik Ljungkvist reeds · Per Zanussi double bass · Øyvind Skarbø drums
"The album is brimming with modern European swing, the group frosting its melodicism with a tart insouciance."
The New York Jazz Record
Vägen
Klas Nevrin piano · Pär-Ola Landin double bass · Peter Danemo drums
"The atmosphere is contemplative and spacious … Vägen avoids the common clichés of Nordic, melancholic atmosphere, and the trio's open dynamics takes it into edgier territories, radiating the immediate affinity of these gifted improvisers."
Eyal Hareuveni · Salt Peanuts
Badaling
Fredrik Ljungkvist reeds · Klas Nevrin piano/zither · Per-Åke Holmlander tuba · Mattias Welin double bass · Jon Fält drums
"Some of the best to have happened to Scandinavian jazz in many years. … you have a gaping hole in your Nordic contemporary jazz collection as long as you don't own this record!"
Bjarne Søltoft · Jazznytt
Yun Kan 12345
Fredrik Ljungkvist reeds · Klas Nevrin piano/harpzither · Per-Åke Holmlander tuba · Mattias Welin double bass · Jon Fält drums
Fancy Machine
Klas Nevrin piano/harpzither · Fredrik Ljungkvist reeds · Peter Janson double bass · Ricard Österstam drums
Debut as leader — early work in composing for improvisers and use of the retuned harpzither as a timbral and microtonal voice.
