The really great album "Pasodoble" was introduced to you earlier on this blog. As a kind of extension of this duo, Lars Danielsson and Leszek Mozdzer recorded the album Tarantella as a follow-up. Some of the duo pieces and passages on Tarantella, such as “Melody on Wood” and “Fiojo”, are built directly upon passages from Pasodoble, and on listening, it’s no wonder that Danielsson calls Możdżer “the perfect pianist for me”. It is simply amazing how Danielsson consistently refines his work, how he continues to open up new areas of sound and place them in new contexts and combinations. “I have taken the character of my music as the starting point, and have looked for the people who will best fit to it.” He found Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick, British guitarist John Parricelli, and the American drummer Eric Harland. Of course, Trantella is released on ACT.
