Here the musicians have to be versatile with the references to various forms of jazz and to some of the conventions of Film Noir music. As with all this music, recognition and memory of the source is critical. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the production by Cullberg Ballet, who commissioned the work, I had four of the finest Swedish musicians who move freely between the various musical demands: being precise, but flexible in a nonclassical way; understanding the requirements of this musical approach, with a powerful double bass driving the ensemble, which even swings at times, anchored at the centre by the richness and fluidity of the accordion, and moving subtly between written music and improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerformers on this recording: Lisa Langbacka, accordion\/musical director; Nils Berg, tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, clarinet; Adam Forkelid, piano; Dan Berglund, double bass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Street\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tram\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlowers for the Dead\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet Dreams\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTropical Island\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRehab\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanche Prologue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanche\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlowers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLily\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour Deuces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMolly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue to Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Scene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Last Street\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420716323201,"sku":"2341706","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5052442026037.jpg?v=1750620844","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2341706","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
