When you think of Tomas Franck, what springs to mind is not merely down-to-earth joy of playing
and musical passion, but also such words as love, devotion, intensity and absorption. Great, universal concepts which cannot be shrugged off with an "oh, well". There is no speculation in
superficial aesthetics - the musical expression and contents become one. And it is impossible to catch him out in idle talk. The sources, the inheritance from the great jazz tenor players, are
manifold, but Franck gives them a special, spellbinding glow when he blends them with echoes of the Swedish folk tone. Tomas Franck makes heavy demands on his rhythm section. Dear listener - you
are holding in your hand a true pearl. Tomas Franck - Tenor Saxophone
