Review by Pete Prodoehl

Hidros One, the latest album by Mats Gustafsson & NuEnsemblen, is a stunning example of experimental jazz fusion. The album is comprised of six tracks, each one showcasing the exceptional musicianship of the ensemble. The album is a beautiful blend of jazz, rock, and electronic music, with Gustafsson's saxophone leading the way.

The album opens with "Hidros One," a fast-paced, energetic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The saxophone is front and center, with the rest of the ensemble providing the perfect backing. "Hidros Two" is a slower, more contemplative track, with a haunting melody that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.

"Waterfall Rocket" is a standout track, with a driving beat and a powerful saxophone solo. The track builds to a frenzied crescendo, with the ensemble creating a wall of sound that is both exhilarating and beautiful. "Hidros Three" is a more experimental track, with electronic sounds and distorted saxophone creating a futuristic, otherworldly atmosphere.

The album concludes with "Hidros Five," a beautiful, melancholic track that showcases the ensemble's ability to create a powerful emotional impact through their music. The saxophone is once again the star, with Gustafsson's playing reaching new heights of beauty and intensity.

Swedish reeds player, improviser and composer, born 29 October 1964 in Umeå. His extended saxophone techniques draw equally from the fiery free jazz blowing tradition and the European microtonal schools. Born in 1964 in the culturally rich area of Umeå, he was exposed at a young age to various Swedish improvisers such as saxophonist Lars Göran Ulander and pianist Per Henrik Wallin. His first instrument was the flute, but by his early teens, Gustafsson was playing saxophone as well. Around the age of 14, he put a saxophone mouthpiece on his flute to bring an instrument along on a trip, and since then has played this creation, the fluteophone, in addition to other, more standard reed instruments. His first improvisations were with drummer Kjell Nordeson, who would later form the AALY Trio with Gustafsson. Mats Gustafsson moved to Stockholm in the mid-'80s, and there met musicians such as Sten Sandell and Raymond Strid. The three formed Gush in 1988, two years after Gustafsson's duo with Christian Munthe, Two Slices of Acoustic Car, began. He also worked with Berlin-based Sven-Åke Johansson during this time, thus becoming acquainted with the German scene. In 1990, Gustafsson performed in Derek Bailey's Company in London. He also began visiting the U.S. regularly, becoming a regular in the Chicago improvising community as the '90s progressed, working extensively with Hamid Drake and Ken Vandermark, among others. Gustafsson has also performed and recorded with Sonic Youth, Barry Guy, Paul Lovens, Georg Gräwe, Jaap Blonk, and as a member of Peter Brötzmann's all-star Chicago Octet/Tentet.
