Paint It Blue is dedicated to the man who, for many still today embodies the central figure at the genre’s source: Julian Edwin ‘Cannonball’ Adderley (1928 – 1975). Maybe he didn’t invent Funk. Together with his co-musicians in his 60s quintet, Cannonball’s alto sax style, his attitude, humour great musicality, and his love for his audience allowed him to become a synonym for funk.

Paint It Blue is possibly Nils Landgren’s most lavish record and with some certainty also his best. Landgren’s playing is cool and smooth, with warmth, temperament and thought. Here his sound combines organically with everything he surrounds himself with. The album sounds as if the recordings for it were a pure joy for all participants. Nils Landgren has the prerequisite for serious fun, the gift of intelligent serenity.
