I have given much consideration to the ways in which Inge, Esbj\u00f6rn, and Klavs play individually, but even more so to our collective sound. I have tried to write music that is both straightforward and open in form. My aim is to give us the freedom to play without restrictions, while still taking full advantage of our different musical personalities to give the music greater depth. As a source of inspiration, I am deeply interested in the musical heritage of the Nordic countries. The music we play demands nothing more from the listener than curiosity.<br>&#8211; <em>Peter Danemo<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inge Petersson<\/strong> &#8211; tenor saxophone<br><strong>Esbj\u00f6rn Svensson<\/strong> &#8211; piano, keyboards<br><strong>Klavs Hovman<\/strong> &#8211; acoustic bass<br><strong>Peter Danemo<\/strong> &#8211; drums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Below The Surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Asking, Thinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Soulful Tree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now And Forever<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lost In The Fog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One More<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medieval Wind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Growing, Moving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The End<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All compositions by Peter Danemo, except 3 and 8 by Esbj\u00f6rn Svensson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded and mixed by Bjarne Hansen at Sun Studio, Copenhagen, May 6 and 7, 1991<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineer: Bjarne Hansen<br>Photo: Lars Westin<br>Mastering: Digitalfabriken<br>Cover artwork: Peder Josefsson<br>Translation: Dave Castle<br>Album Design: Hans Berglund<br>Produced by Peter Danemo &amp; Dragon Records<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Danemo Quartet is a Swedish jazz group led by drummer and composer Peter Danemo.
