Id like to talk about this new album costarring we just heard some snippets from it there will listen more in a minute but with jazz pianist you can make me feel means crystals obviously makes me think of snow and ice crystals so theres a very nordic thing happening yeah for me its really very much of march to your home country swedish but crystal is could also be a metaphor for a woman i like you know. A yeah like a like a crystal you know young and destroyed and multifaceted right. Theres a song. And swedish a swedish folk song called christan and which i have recorded 25 years ago not on this record but theres always the i mean its it can mean a lot of things but one of them is that so its not a toll necessarily chilly or a not at all yeah yeah a lot of a lot of folk swedish folk song influences as as youve mentioned there lets listen to the opening piece thats actually composed by your musician and this is called blocking. You decided to record. This concert. And how this video. We were dead lucky for us one of the arch.

Has dialogue that has to be a total trust. And it has to be. You have to like each other in order to be able to live a life in a good way and so i think thats you know number one and then of course you have to have some kind of musical skills too but this way of kind of playing.

A personal model but also a long Time Initiative that you have with midsouth fulfilled she added you are a quite a quite a political person at at heart can you think exist completely outside of politics nowadays for you or is it necessarily linked like in so many other instances i wish it could exist with but i dont think it does anymore i think should be an escape shouldnt it should be but it can still be an escape but somehow its connected. At least in my my thoughts although maybe you dont have to say everything that that you think but which we dont know and im straight well we dont know but what i can express a lot of stuff through my music and sometimes we have their extent Say Something maybe not everybody get the you know catch of but there are messages in there which all of your and your listeners definitely appreciate and use langton on tour with you on law and plan which you all the best for that or break a leg thank you very much thank you so much for joining me in the studio youre welcome that.
