Berlin-based Swedish saxophonist Otis Sandsjö returns with the eagerly-awaited sequel to Y-OTIS. On Y-OTIS 2, Sandsjö and his close associate, bassist/producer Petter Eldh (of Koma Saxo), deepen their vision of genre-bending, forward-looking liquid jazz of tomorrow. The core group also includes Dan Nicholls on keys and Tilo Weber on drums, and also featured on the album are Swedish jazz greats Jonas Kullhammar (of Koma Saxo) and Per Texas Johansson, cellist Lucy Railton and trumpeter Ruhi-Deniz Erdogan. Diving deeper into Y-OTIS 2, you'll find details and ideas galore. The album is an inviting and inspiring audio mosaic, which links back into the previous Sandsjö/Eldh collaborations, namely Y-OTIS and Koma Saxo. The result is a balanced album which quenches your thirst while making you more thirsty in the process. In other words, the many micro moods and sonic levels herein invite repeated listening, while the underlying rhythmic approach is informed as much by hip hop and electronica as by jazz, making the music approachable in a very natural way. Waldo, Tremendoce, Oisters, Abysmal, Koppom, Ity Bity, Sapiens, Bobby, Fruehling, Atombahn
