Haftor Medboe Group - In Perpetuity - The Scotsman

01 May 2006
The Scotsman
Kenny Mathieson

THIS group's debut on Linn is a swansong for the former line-up, in which the guitarist Medboe is joined by soprano saxophonist Susan MacKenzie, trombonist Chris Greive and percussionist Signy Jakobsdottir, with additional strings from the Edinburgh Quartet and programming by Kenny MacDonald. MacKenzie's strength is the purity of her sound, and Medboe's semi-impressionistic compositions make clever use of the interplay between the instruments.
