Forest concert with Gustaf Ljunggren and Emil de Waal

Imagine this dream scenario: In the midst of Marielundskoven, on the almost floating wooden terrace by the Forester's Lodge, stands the Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren and the Danish drummer Emil de Waal. They have been musical playmates for over 25 years and in 2023 released their third duo album "Stockholm Copenhagen". It's a musical bouquet of wildflowers, where each track reveals overwhelming beauty and tranquility. Their music subtly blends the acoustic with the electronic, creating a kind of spherical and floating ambient jazz with great artistic range and rarely heard musical perfection. It's the kind of record you want to listen to again and again, because it's almost unbearable when it stops. With a sense of simple melody, they play dreamy jazz that infiltrates every cell in the listener's body. They simply play picturesque music in harmony with nature, as if it were meant to be played deep in a forest.

Line-up:
Gustaf Ljunggren: Fender Rhodes, synths, and guitars
Emil de Waal: drums

About the duo:
The duo released their third album in July 2023 and have always had integrity and curiosity as crucial factors. They have recorded an evocative album of new music on acoustic, electric, and electronic instruments, which has already touched, shaken, swung, and rocked audiences and is in A-rotation on DR P8 Jazz. Everything was recorded and mixed in New York by Andy Green (Velvet Underground and John Cale).
