Album Notes

"Happy Land" - the oven fresh new album from the Stockholm based band "Nybakat!" (which translates as "freshly baked" in Swedish) is ready!
"Happy Land" comes a couple of years after Nybakat's eponymous debut album.
While the primary focus of the first album was playful "upside-down” Jazz - rooted interpretations of Swedish folk songs and psalms, the new album is a quite different spicy “pastry” consisting of twelve cross - genre original compositions written by all four members of the band. It's neither jazz and nor folk anymore - just a musical journey with no style definition. In other words, "Happy Land" is more about flavors of genres than the genres themselves.
Reflected through the prism of "Nybakat!", Modern Jazz, Flamenco, Swedish folk music, Jewish Klezmer, New Orleans Jazz and more – all get a freshening up. The facets of this musical kaleidoscope are finely glued together with bold melodic lines, energetic folk-based grooves and dynamic composition.
The result is an adventure - full of colors and fantasy.
