THOMAS ALMQVIST – Nyanser (Mistlur, 1979)

Instrumental
International relevance: **

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.
