Jan Carlstedt - Metamorphoses

Review by Perze Ababa

Jan Carlstedt's album Metamorphoses is a work of art that showcases the artist's versatility and creativity. The album is a perfect blend of different genres, including jazz, classical, and world music, all fused together to create a unique and captivating sound.

The album's title, Metamorphoses, is an apt description of the music contained within. Each track takes the listener on a journey, transforming and evolving throughout its duration. The music is both thought-provoking and emotive, with each track telling its own story.

The album's opening track, "Metamorphoses I," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate melodies and complex rhythms. The track seamlessly transitions into "Dreams," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Carlstedt's proficiency on the piano.

Other standout tracks include "Tango," a sultry and passionate piece that is reminiscent of the Argentine dance, and "Sahara," which features an exotic blend of Middle Eastern and African rhythms.
