Vagabond

Guitar player Ulf Wakenius has travelled around the globe several times both as a solo artist and also with stars like Herbie Hancock, Toots Thielemans, Hank Jones and Michel Legrand. Particularly worthy a mention is Wakenius' 11-year membership in the legendary Oscar Peterson Quartet. His latest album, Vagabond showcases Wakenius' curiosity for all sorts of music and his versatility as a guitarist truly shines - from the French 'Bretagne" and the Nordic almost hymnal sounds of 'Psalmen' to the archaic Native American tones of Jim Pepper's "Witchi-Tai-To". Wakenius sends the listener musical postcards from all over the world and merges them into a fascinating travel report.
