ANNA HÖGBERG ATTACK
Sweden
Anna Högberg, Malin Wättring and Elin Larsson, saxes; Lisa Ullén, piano; Elsa Bergman, double bass; Ann Lund, drums
The Attack’s raw suggestive music sets out from compositions by Anna Högberg, saxophone player in various groups including Fire! Orchestra and Doglife. Embracing the possibilities of expression and the freedom of articulation, the six musicians sculpt a sound that caresses and claws all at once while allowing the players plenty of room to bloom.
“Anna Högberg is a modern free jazz standard bearer keeping it all together – her rich alto sax leading the ensemble into layers of high octane outbursts and sensational melodic variations. Her tone being able to cut landscapes open, to melt your brain as we know it.” Mats Gustafsson
