Albums such as Redhorn and Live In Stockholm with Maceo Parker are examples of some of our influences that we have "marinated" in our long-standing collaboration with Michael Ruff, Randy Brecker, Brenda Russel etc. StudioTan have emerged out of our desire to continue building on our common experiences and create a collective musical frame. The project has been a room where you can improve as a musician and it all started when I played in a masterclass in Copenhagen. Per and Daniel played together there for the first time and it worked out fine. Shortly after that we went into the studio where we worked with several musical ideas and I wrote many tunes at this occasion. We toured in Denmark and Sweden 2006 under the name Rigskompet. After that we toured again in 2008 and was joined by Ida Sand, Anton Heger and Marius Neset from Jazzkamikaze. On this tour we played tunes by Henrik och Daniel and we continued to write more material for our first record. We decided to change the group's name to StudioTan. Our vision with StudioTan is to be a platform where we can meet and create great musical moments for ourself and the audience" (Lars Danielsson) TRACK LIST 1. Pets 2. Where ever U go 3. Hot summer 4.
