Often hired session musician Thomas
Almqvist has recorded several albums of his own; ”Nyanser” was his first and reveals his
appreciation for classical guitar. The music also
incorporates elements of jazz thanks to Hans Peter Andersson's
various saxophones, Elise Einardotter's Fender Rhodes piano and Peter
Öberg's drum patterns. It's a soothing album with Almqvist's
acoustic guitar to the fore, sometimes reminiscent of new age
guitarist Michael Hedges, and sometimes in the style of John
Renbourn's 80's albums. Pleasant for background listening but not very engaging when you turn the volume up.
