Brighter

In 2014, Icelandic pianist Anna Gréta Sigurðardóttir relocated to Stockholm. In 2015, she met Stockholm-based guitarist Max Schultz while performing with Håkan Broström's big band, New Places Orchestra. Bonding over their love for the nylon-stringed guitar and acoustic piano duo format, they began playing original songs together. Starting with their acoustic duo sound, they expanded to a quintet, featuring Joakim Milder on saxophone, Magnus Gran on drums as co - producer, and Christian Spering on double bass. Sound engineer Åke Linton joined them, and in February 2019, they recorded 10 songs at the Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg. Anna Gréta and Max added a string quartet flavor by writing arrangements recorded by Sjöst röm ska kvartetten. Mixed in Gothenburg, this album showcases 10 songs where musicians blend improvisation, composition, and arrangement to create lyrical and melodic music.
