about

"Musiken på ”Tonpoem 2021-2022” är till stor del improviserad, men med betoning på kollektivet mer än individen. […] Ingen i bandet spelar överdrivet mycket, eller snarare varken mer eller mindre än vad som krävs. Det biter till ibland på individuella plan, men i stort finns en parallell till cooljazzens idéer om att uttrycket även sitter i hur musiken är tänkt – inte bara i hur den spelas. Det blir fint så, inte minst som förnimmelsen av musikerns tankar också gör henne sårbar."
— Dagens Nyheter

"This superb new quintet captures a new book of tunes marked by finely etched beauty, and lines cut with lapidary detail. The music at once draws upon the past, particularly the restraint of vintage cool jazz, while evoking the colors of more modern touchstones like Bill Frisell and Franz Koglmann, while sounding thoroughly contemporary".
— The Quietus

”’Grindfårans cirkelkvadrant’ und ’Variationer för kvintett’, das entspricht jedenfalls Strandbergs Ideal von klassisch abgezirkelter, auf max 4 Min. begrenzter Tonpoesie, die so speckfrei daherkommt, dass ihr alle Zeit und Luft zur Perfektion bleibt.”
— Bad Alchemy

"[L]e linee sinuose e i dialoghi morbidi sono il frutto dell’improvvisazione di un ensemble affiatato, che rinuncia ai virtuosismi anche perché, semplicemente, non ne ha bisogno per esprimere una certa qualità […] l’insieme funziona benissimo, confermando una volta di più l’ispirazione e la tecnica di un grande artista."
— Music Map

"The music flirts with post-bop and even Dixieland and highlights the close, emphatic dynamics of the quintet. But it reaches its most beautiful and emotional climaxes on the introspective, lyrical pieces […] where Strandberg’s compositional and ensemble improvising ideas radiate his poetic sensibility."
— Salt Peanuts
