Katzen Kapell
Check out Swedish band Katzen Kapell. Composition, jazz, accordion, piano, violin, marimba, hand drums. Its all a beautiful intertwined work. I feel the music takes from baroque sources like Bach, bebop and Piazzolla, world and jazz rhythms, intertwines eastern folk melodies and very interesting arrangements full of thought and depth. I would love to see their iPods.
An accurate description from their label’s site:
Katzen Kapell is virtuoso music, sentimental and humorous. Infallsrikt and powerfully led you into the scent of variété large numbers, the film’s violence and sentimentality, rock and jazz incompatible mixture and tango madness. They own compositions depicts both suburban boredom to oriental romance or a handlös journey through a night detail Bucharest … Everything that you did not think was possible to reconcile the chapel plays up to you with much humor and darkness.
