If you're into UK guitarists Nigel Price or Artie Zaitz you'll probably enjoy Finnish player Mathias Sandberg on this retro set that thrives on generous soloing, bright as a pin articulation and lands in a Grant Green soundworld where the emphasis is on direct communication and bags full of melodic ingenuity built around little slithers of a tuneful idea. The pieces have a tap-along feelgood attitude to them and Sandberg is ably supported by Zacharias Holmkvist on bass and Stefan Brokvist on drums. Streaming now. CD release is 1 September.
