Karel Eriksson 'Sound Pollution Eclectic'
While the trombone used to be one of the most emblematic instruments in jazz, there are very few of us today who can defend the trombone as a leading instrument. Karel is definitely one of these special player who offers here on this album a great group of musicians who really connect with one another. (Samuel Blaser)

Swedish trombonist Karel Eriksson presents his quintet Sound Pollution Eclectic, with Gerhard Ornig, Thilo Seevers (keyboards), Emiliano Sampaio (guitar) and Luis Oliveira (drums) as band members - five musicians who are almost like an all-star selection of graduates who have completed their studies at the Jazz Institute of the Graz University of Music in recent years.
The band not only attracts attention with a renowned line-up, but also with adventurous music: free improvisation and clearly structured passages complement each other in the sense of a varied dramaturgy between lyrical-contemplative moods and groovy ensemble passages, whereby the excellent solo skills of the musicians are also shown to their best advantage. Contemporary jazz of the high-contrast variety, played by a top-class quintet whose members are regarded as potential protagonists of tomorrow's scene. (Andreas Felber, Ö1 Jazz editorial office)
