The great Swedish baritone saxophonist and composer Lars Gullin died over 30 years ago, but his highly personal music still lives on in his native country, and fortunately in Denmark as well. Over the years saxophonists Christina von Bülow and Fredrik Lundin have felt a great affnity for the fragile, often melancholic, lyrical qualities in Swedish jazz, and both have collaborated successfully with many Swedish musicians.

Lundin explains that he grew up with Jan Johansson's interpretations of Swedish folk tunes, and later he discovered Bernt Rosengren, Nisse Sandström, Harry Bäcklund and Bobo Stenson via the radio. But Lars Gullin's baritone sax cut deepest, and when young Lundin heard Gullin's version of the wonderful tune "Darn That Dream", he became a life-long fan. Lundin considers Gullin the greatest baritone saxophonist in jazz: Harry Carney was a great baritone saxophonist, but no great soloist. Pepper Adams has energy, and he's a mesmerizing soloist, but his sound isn't very powerful. Serge Chaloff was close - big tone and a lot of intensity - but inconsistent. Mulligan was great for a few years before he gave in to his inner salon musician. Cecil Payne has a wonderful sound but rarely solos above average. But no one OWNS the baritone sax like Gullin: inimitable sound, perfect phrasing and beautiful lines. And Fredrik Lundin couldn't understand why no one - with the exception of Lars Gullin's son, Peter, who passed away much too early - had tried to play the instrument like Lars Gullin. Obviously, the large instrument must be treated with the utmost respect, but in return it sounds like no other instrument: something huge, powerful and dark combined with a wistful tenderness.
A few years ago, tenor saxophonist Fredrik Lundin fnally got his baritone sax - and old silver Elkhart from 1928.
Since then Lundin has tried his best to continue Gullin's legacy. Luckily, he found a soul-mate in alto saxophonist Christi.......
