The bands I play with

Brus Trio
This band got formed in 1983 and the members are;
  • Arne Forsén on piano
  • Ulf Åkerhielm on double-bass
    (in this band I use a solo tuned bass)
  • Gilbert Matthews on drums
    With this band we have developed a style of
    our own in contemporary jazz.
    The sound sample below is composed by Ulf Åkerhielm.

    As a relief.

    Lisa Ullen Quartet
    This band plays completely free improvisations
    and there is no such thing with us as a written or planned tune.
    The way the music sounds is purely a consequence of
    the personalities of the members of the band.
    The members are:

  • Lisa Ullen on piano
  • Mats Äleklint on trombone
  • Andreas Axelsson on drums
  • Ulf Åkerhielm on bass (normaly tuned)
    The sounding example below here is created by all of us.

    Att förväxla konsum med universum (no English title).

    Ulf Åkerhielm does also solo performances
    with free improvised musik.
    Bohemens åsikter i snobbfrågor (no English title)

    Andy Fite Trio
    In this band we play complex improvisations based on the
    old standard tunes of the jazz tradition
    (very often we skip the usual reading of the
    original melody at the beginning of tunes and start improvising
    full out from the start). Guitarist Andy Fite is also a singer and songwriter
    and the repertoire includes several of his songs.
    The sample below is one of these.
    The members are;

  • Andy Fite on guitar and vocal
  • Ulf Åkerhielm on bass
  • Sebastian Voegler on drums

    Sex with my ex
    (Andy has written a lot of funny songs about complicated love relationships,
    songs which aren’t just good jokes but also have a philosophical side to them.
    I feel strongly that the purpose of art is to share the wisdom we have as human beings,
    and that’s why I’m proud to present this Andy Fite song on my website).
