In 2020 listeners around the world has given a positive feedback to the band and inspired by that Martin Brandqvist experienced a flow in his composing. The desire to deliver new music to the waiting fans led to rehearsals and studio time with the band in February 2021. ”Any Time” consist of seven tracks, all original compositions by Martin. The music ranges from pop flirting to Nordic melancholy. The songs are inspired by natural everyday events. Martin explains: ”I can get a feeling after watching a movie, a walk in the forest with my dog, a rhythmic idea, other musicians that inspires - Aaron Parks, Matthias Eick, Stina Nordenstam, Emil Brandqvist. Then I sit down at the grand piano and capture the idea, develop it, continue to improvise and start writing my music. Working with the form is an ongoing process even after the music is recorded”. The sound is an important part of the band's profile and the band is involved in the whole process from recording and mixing to the final master. Their ideal is a natural, crystal-clear recording with details and joy of playing. As a composer, Martin has many years of experience in creation film music, which is sometimes reflected in his jazz compositions. ”Jazz is about storytelling and by my side I have some of the best storytellers you can find,” says Martin. ”Inge Petersson Lindbäck- Saxophone, Mattias Hjorth - Bass, Johan Ohlsson – Piano.” The album was recorded during the pandemic and the musicians were all placed in separate rooms with no visual contact. This may have made the musicians listening even more intensified and focused. ”I wonder if you, the listeners, can notice this?” We hope you enjoy listening ”Any Time”!
