Loney Dear
Soul indie musician Loney Dear is a one-man show. This evening he dives in to jazz as well as his own catalogue.
Maybe it’s all just a tender tribute to Nina Simone’s poignant presence.
Loney dear, through its permanent member Emil Svanängen, has performed in about fifty guises and sets for the last quarter of a century. This particular edition takes place in the scenography of an opera and is played by half a dozen musicians from the city’s biggest jazz musicians.
This evening, Emil and his friends play around and through bits from Broadway and Hollywood, otherwise mostly from the Loney dear catalogue. Often rubato, often tremolo in the piano. – Call it jazz spiritual, suggests double bassist Josef Kallerdahl, when Emil asks for advice. The music works like old theater plays or songs. A skeleton to dress, which changes shape and form. The jazz is not a pose, rather an enlightenment about the varieties. That things can take time, with varying degrees of respect.
– I will think about this every single day until the day of the concert, and then something we didn’t think about will be the thing that really catches on. The planned falls away like swimming plans on an unexpectedly cloudy day. The music hardly exists without the audience.
