I recommend you to listen to Swedish Grammis Winner Sara Aldéns upcoming album "FORCE OF NATURE" (release april 10th on Naxos Prophone) and if there is interest I of course recommend you to add it to "The Europe Jazz Media Chart for April 2026" after the success with Nils Landgren as guest artist amongst others.
I recommend you to listen to track no 6 "Come!" and track no 2 "The Rain" that are the focus tracks this month.

Force of Nature is the answer, and allows the listener to land in the naked space of the first track - “World”. Opening up to the new world - to what happens when everything is burnt to the
ground and force of nature - and we as a part of it - steps in
