Maybe we should just rename May Steve Swallow month and be done with it. But while saxophonist Hans Ulrik, guitarist Niclas Knudsen and drummer Anders Mogensen are not exactly household names, although the creamy toned Ulrik worked with Swallow before (as has Mogensen), unless your very own happy domesticity is Locking Down in wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen. Bookended by Milton Nascimento and Carla Bley tunes Ulrik does quite a bit of the arranging on The Meeting, an Ulrik produced studio album recorded in 2019. Swallow classic 'Ladies in Mercedes' gets a look-in as does 'Ever After,' an inclusion that will please fans of the Impossible Gentlemen pining for their heroes no end.
