Full Review:

Zephyr is a Swedish group, this time configured of flutes. Görån Mansson, Jonas Simonson (from Groupa), and Richard Ekre Suzzi utilize a variety of wind instruments from Sweden and afar, such as the bamboo Bansuri flute. An all-flute trio can certainly have an ethereal sound, as the band demonstrates on “Blow My Fear,” but Zephyr go well beyond such stereotyping and they construct compositions that indulge in world music influences. Zephyr are also a remarkably percussive group, as evidenced on the opening “Char Bungalow.” The melodic washes are undergirded by deep tones that, combined, lend a slightly Asian air to the tune. Indian textures are apparent on the fascinating “Polska Amrutvarshini,” a peaceful atmosphere that is riven with the drive of the sub-bass recorder. “Gurukul” toys with an Indian scale, and then surprisingly drops into a bluesy vibe. “Mumbai 8 pm” also nods towards India, as well, but via a pensive and mysterious ambience. On October Ocean, Zephyr make a compelling and intriguing showcase for the power and universality of, and experimentation possible with, wind instruments.
