Tonbruket, the current band of ex-Esbjörn Svensson Trio bassist Dan Berglund, will be releasing a new album called "Dig it to the end" at the end of May. It also appears that the group will be coming to the US for a few dates in June: http://www.tonbruket.com/dates.html
I'm due for a trip to the Bay Area, so that Oakland date in June is awfully tempting.

Ex-Esbjörn Svensson Trio drummer Magnus Öström will be releasing his first album as a bandleader on April 24, "Thread of life", which I guess puts it in direct competition with his old bandmate. Not that the two have beef, Dan Berglund guests on the tribute track "Ballad for E" along with renown guitarist Pat Metheny while the rest of the album features Andreas Hourdakis on guitars, Gustaf Karlöf on keyboards and Thobias Gabrielson on bass.

has announced that Dan Berglund's new album "Allt är idioternas fel" will be released the week of Easter, which I presume means April 25?
