"Keyboardist/vocalist Mats Öberg and drummer Morgan Ågren have been playing together for over 30 years! They were 'discovered' at a very young age by Frank Zappa and they are musical legends in their native Sweden. Live was Mats/Morgan Band's fifth album and the first by the extraordinary expanded lineup of the group (Mats, Eric Carlsson and Robert Elovsson, on keyboards, Jimmy Ågren, guitar; Tommy Thordsson, bass and Morgan on drums)" (http://cuneiformrecords.com/bandshtml/matsmorgan.html, 2011).
This is excellent keyboard and drum work full of inspiration and improvisation. The opener "Hollmervalsen", gets things started and all of the other tracks follow suit. The highlights for me on the album were the opener, "Igloo" and "Jigsaw Variations".
If you like plenty of jazzy keyboards with great drum support you should give this a try. For fans of the band, the live version of some of their favorites will add to the variety in your collection.
Track Listing:
1. Hollmervalsen
2. En Schizofrens Dagbok
