Release notes as of August 2011

The fifth release from Johan Berke Upstairs Five contains a newly composed suite in four parts, just under 52 minutes long, premiered at Swedish Jazz Celebration 2011.
This work is an extension and also a summary of the stylistic treads present on Upstairs Five (2004), The Cactus Suite (2006), Eastern Scene in Grey Minor (2008) and the Phono Suecia-release: Scope - music by Fredrik Nordström and Johan Berke (PSCD181 / 2009) which saw the jazz quintet augmented by a brass quintet.

Nordic Scenes in Chromatic Blue contains both long passages of composed ensemble work with slowly evolving melodic and harmonic themes, free improvising within a larger framework of structure and electronic soundscapes contrasting the acoustic jazz instrumentation, pushing the music into uncharted territory - all woven into a seamless and coherent whole.
