By reverting to musical traditions and role models, something new and sometimes groundbreaking is often created. This is what curator and producer Siggi Loch thought when he suggested to Magnus Lindgren that he follow in the footsteps of Herbie Mann: "Stockholm Underground" is a homage to the famous jazz flutist and based on his legendary album "Memphis Underground" from 1969, which the US Rolling Stone chose as one of the "100 best jazz albums" of all time in 2013.

Magnus Lindgren

"The best European jazz flutist," declares the Berliner "Tagesspiegel" when referring to the Swedish musician Magnus Lindgren. In Lindgren's diverse playing on the flute, saxophone, and clarinet, you'll find a blend of smooth, soul-infused melodiousness and fresh, virtuosic jazz spirit. As a long-time member of the Nils Landgren Funk Unit, Lindgren is deeply rooted in the groove. However, when working alongside Till Brönner, he also demonstrates mastery across various facets of modern mainstream jazz. Latin, pop, and classical elements are also firmly entrenched in his musical vocabulary. Furthermore, Magnus Lindgren is one of the most sought-after arrangers in the European jazz scene, capable of arranging everything from a punchy horn section to a symphony orchestra.
