COW COW - NORRLAND II / Jonas Knutsson - Johan Norberg
About Album
Cow Cow: Norrland II by Jonas Knutsson und Johan Norberg follows on from its highly-praised predecessor Norrland (ACT 9014-2) released in 2004, itself described as a "simple declaration of love by two musicians for their homeland" (Stereo). "Has there ever been such a Nordic sound portrait with so much beauty?" asked the magazine Nordic Music. "No production of the recent past conveys the personal character, or allows the intimate stillness to shine through as Norrland" enthused Jazzpodium, and Stereo continued rapturously: "Lucid in its performance, with sensitive and clear-as-a-bell dialogue, this formidable duo is able to create music as if from a different era".

"The combination of saxophone and the stringed instruments creates a spacious, open-textured feel in the beautifully recorded music"
