Bobo Stenson and Plunge

Jez Nelson presents Swedish trio Plunge in collaboration with pianist Bobo Stenson in a concert given at the Hamburg Jazz Days festival in October 2010.

Jez Nelson presents a performance by Swedish trio Plunge in collaboration with pianist Bobo Stenson. Plunge combine free improvisation with a Nordic sensibility characterised by slowly developing forms and delicate textures. Stenson's understated intensity has been a prominent part the ECM label's catalogue for 40 years, as a sideman to artists such as Charles Lloyd and Tomasz Stanko, and with his own trio. His work with Plunge stretches back to 2002, with this concert recorded at Hamburg Jazz Days festival last October, featuring Andreas Andersson on saxophone, Matthias Hjorth on bass and drummer Peter Nilsson.

Also on the programme, saxophonist Soweto Kinch visits Jazz on 3's Kevin Le Gendre to find out how jazz reviews get written.
