Yan Jun | Sven-Åke Johansson | Nicholas Bussmann – tea time

If you think that the constellation of Nicholas Bussmann, Sven-Åke Johansson and Yan Jun is a sort of dream lineup, you are not far off the mark. The joint improvisations that you hear on tea time capture a sound that once came to Bussmann in a dream and that he made a reality with the help of his fellow musicians. The trio recorded the five pieces across two days at Johansson’s SÅJ studio with engineer Andrew Levine, working with Bussmann’s curious piano robot while Johansson was on percussion and Yan Jun made use of his extended, unconventional vocal techniques. Bussmann speaks of a ‘double fakeness of fake jazz meeting fake throat singing’ when talking about what he dreamt up and what the three of them managed to capture perfectly without any prior preparation in the studio.
