Om V.Sjöberg New Jazz Ensemble:

Viktor Sjöberg är en göteborgsmusiker född 1981 som genom åren rört sig chosefritt mellan instrumental hip-hop, mjuk abstrakt electronica, ny jazz och dansant popmusik. De senaste åren har han turnerat med, och varit en kärnmedlem i, Jens Lekmans liveband. Han har också släppt en soloskiva på Kalligrammofon, ett album med sin jazzensemble på iDeal och är nu aktuell med ett nytt soloalbum på amerikanska St Ives.

V.Sjöberg New Jazz Ensemble har beskrivits som akustisk dronejazz och erbjuder klangvärldar som har mycket lite gemensamt med atonal improvisation och andra påstått fria uttryck som man vanligtvis associerar med modern jazz.

" In 2005 I named this
constellation the V. Sjöberg New Jazz Ensemble. In a conversation that I once had with Douglas Holmquist, one of the original members of the V. Sjöberg New Jazz Ensemble, he reflected on the fact that “free jazz” in the Ornette Coleman-sense was sort of followed by an implicit exclamation mark and that this exclamation mark seem to have evaporated as the phrase went from being a call to arms into being a description of something formulaic and institutionalized.

The reasons behind forming this group, the V. Sjöberg New Jazz
Ensemble, and calling it a New Jazz Ensemble isn’t really about
something as catchphrase-friendly as “bringing that exclamation mark back!” It is just a humble comment on the sad fact that a lot of the time the word jazz is very limiting, both in the mind of the consumer and from the point of view of the musician/producer. It shouldn’t have to be, you know?"


Om Lover Man:

Lover Man är V.Sjöberg New Jazz Ensembles andra album. Inspelat i Malmö, Göteborg och San Diego.

The ‘Lover man project’ is based around the song “Lover man” as
written by Jimmy Davis, Ram Ramirez and Jimmy Sherman. It was written for Billie Holiday and although her version might still be considered to be the most popular, it soon became the jazz standard that it is to this day.

Through performing "Lover man" we shall study the concept of freedom. Is it really all that free?
