RA Sessions: Bugge Wesseltoft, Henrik Schwarz & Dan Berglund - Movement 11 / Mozart Balls

Jazz, electronica and a pizza box—our live music series returns for 2015.

Schwarz is a German electronic artist known for his records on Innervisions and his live shows in clubs; Wesseltoft is a Norwegian jazz pianist whose career began in the early '90s; Berglund is a Swedish jazz bassist who has been performing and recording for the past 20 years. Together they play a soft-spoken fusion of jazz, classical and electronica in a style that none of them could have conceived on his own. Later in the video, they explain their belief that analogue and digital both sound better when they're blended together, something that's easy to believe watching their Sessions film. Across two tracks and 20 minutes, electronic and acoustic sounds mingle beautifully. It's also the first Sessions film in which a musician plays a pizza box.

At first I was like, I'm not sure if I want to listen to this for 12 minutes. But once they've build up, it's so magical and amazing. I love it!

Man, you could definitely hear the Esbjorn Svenson Trio in this. I feel like this is an ode, especially with Dan Berglund there. Beautiful.
