(CD)

The music of Toppklass bears witness to a strong relationship with modern Nordic jazz, Swedish film music, and popular folksongs. The band strives to create music outside of what is safe, familiar, and expected.

Toppklass is a guitar trio, but also a bass trio and a drum trio. A trio looking for new ways to play jazz. For the last few years Boel Mogensen (bass), Johan Ekeberg (guitar) and Maria Dahlin (drums) have had their base in Gothenburg. They are very present in many constellations on the Swedish music scene and all three of them have released several records each during the last few years. When they merge into the trio Toppklass, it is with great flexibility and respect for each other and the music.

Johan Ekeberg - guitar, Boel Mogensen, Maria Dahlin - trummor
