And once again, it rings out at Christmas, now in its fifth edition. Nils Landgren's "Christmas With My Friends" is a part of the most wonderful time of the year, much like ornaments on a Christmas tree. Fatigue is out of the question: Landgren has unwrapped 18 new gems from the vast treasure trove of Christmas music. Melodious and heartwarming, sensitive and delicate, this jazzy Christmas music is a stylish gift with a guaranteed chill-inducing effect.

Nils Landgren

For the words versatility and curiosity, there is a synonym: Nils Landgren. Virtuosically, "Mr. Red Horn" navigates from perspective to perspective, partly because he thrives on constant change. Two souls reside in his chest: When the audience experiences him with his "Funk Unit," the Swede reveals his distinctive, relentlessly groovy side and becomes the jazz action hero. But there's also a very gentle, melancholic, highly sentimental Nils Landgren. This side of him emerges, for example, during the Advent season when the instrumentalist and singer celebrates "Christmas With My Friends," or in his ballad projects. On the trombone, he intones with unparalleled smoothness, and his uniquely textured, fragile voice touches the heart and soul with its sensitivity.
