 ACT’s motto, ‘The Art in Music’, is not only reflected in the label’s cover design, but also in the new series, ‘The Gallery Concerts’, recorded at the Berlin ACT Art Collection.
 Following the duo of Johanna Summer and Jakob Manz comes another intense dialogue, between the two Swedes Jan Lundgren, piano, and Hans Backenroth, double bass. Both are musical storytellers - their playing is without any vanity and full of vivid stories.
 Qualities that Jan Lundgren has already demonstrated with his own projects - the pan-European success trio Mare Nostrum, and in duos with trombonist and singer Nils Landgren and bass
icon Georg Riedel. The latter, especially, finds a worthy continuation in the collaboration with Hans Backenroth, one of the most internationally sought-after European bassists.
