"Less
than a hundred years ago, you had to be present at an actual performance to experience,
letīs say, a Beethoven symphony. Today you can buy the cd at a gas station. On your radio
you can choose amongst a wealth of musical styles. Well-stocked record shops offer both
the classics and many obscurities in Western art music, along with recordings from the
entire history of jazz and pop, and folk music from most parts of the world. No wonder
eclecticism has become natural in music making in these late 20th century times!""Peter Gullinīs trio plays music that derives inspiration and elements from many musical areas, some of which are not generally associated with jazz og the 1990s. Listen for instance to the witty references to Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov in 'Incognito', and the surprising appearance in 'Men stig in' ('Please come in') of some familiar, althrough reshaped, musical elements.

"The trio, with its overall sound and approach to form, is very particular about dynamic interaction, aiming for a natural balance between compositions and improvisation. Ever since its formation almost a decade ago, it has ons Swedish and two Danish members. Guitarist Morten Kargaard is a versatile musician witj his own voice, both as a composer and as an improviser. His abilities in the former area are convincingly displayed in three pieces on this album, 'Sunrise', 'Untold story' and 'Flying Eagle', all different in mood and overall concept."
" Ole Rasmussen contributes to the trioīs repertoire, too, although he is not represented as a composer here. His bass plays a vitale role in the intricate arrangements and often provides the rythmic backbone to the music. Moreover, he is an agile soloist with a distinctly melodical conception. "
