Les3 has a potential strong enough compared with international standards. The CD emmits vitality and filigrans musical thinking - Personality is not lacking. This is an amazing unit giving the want-more feeling! The solist´s doings are splendid. The sparse playing of pianist Nilkas proposes calm afterthought but has a real bite when needed; The bass playing of Lars´ is one gigantic exclamation mark, and I mean big in all aspects; Mathias drumming is based on a great listening, building the terrific sound of the trio! " Ljusnan " The most personal and tight together playing I find in their own compositions. In `Helt enkelt Kent` I hear echoes from great Thelonious Monk with good solo from the composer Hall and pianist Bjarnehäll and `Happy Times`is a really good ensemble playing throughout. Slow, interesting, funny, unusual, rythmical, serious and strict playing interacts with flashing alerts and exciting solos. This is a CD with enjoyable trio playing all the way through."
