“I’ve written frequently about the group, which bookended 2022 with a pair of fantastic recordings on the Umlaut label. Elastic Bricks was a set of original tunes by Grip and Sieger, while The Strange Adventures of Jesper Klint was a total remake of Coyote, an overlooked classic from the mid-80s by Swedish pianist Per Henrik Wallin. I adore both recordings, which bristle with an infectiously buoyant, joyful strain of bebop of the sort defined by the likes of Thelonious Monk, Elmo Hope, Herbie Nichols, and Hasaan Ibn Ali, all key members of what Matthew Shipp has called the Black Mystery School.” Peter Margasak
