Jormin, hailed by Down Beat as "a treasure
everything a bassist should be", has excelled on numerous ECM recordings with
Bobo Stenson, Charles Lloyd, Don Cherry, and Tomasz Stanko. Solo pieces and
compositions for brass quartet feature on"Xieyi", his first album under his own name
for the label. The songs for bass mine the widest possible sources: Scandinavian
religious hymns by Sibelius and Söderblom, Ornette Coleman's "War
Orphans","Gracias a la vida" by Chile's Violetta Parra, tone poems by Swedish
composers, a children's song, and improvisations by Anders.
