Crazy Swedes – Crazy Swedes [Deluxe Edition] (Independent, 2022)
Crazy Swedes is a fantastic American progressive jazz fusion band. They play masterfully crafted jazz-rock that is rooted in the sounds of the early pioneers of jazz fusion. This is the good stuff, with a superb mix of dazzling virtuosity, creative jamming, and engaging melodic work.
Most of the band’s material is original, although the album features two live covers of compositions by iconic artists, Pink Floyd’s ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’ and Billy Cobham’s ‘Spectrum’.
The lineup includes Will Severin on guitars; Rob Lindquist on keyboards; Eric Schwanke on bass; and drummer George Snyder on drums.
