Sound Pollution Eclectic (S.P.E) is an Austrian-based group led by trombonist Karel Eriksson and contains musicians from Germany, Brazil, Austria and Sweden. The group was formed in 2017 and has been performing in Austria, Sweden and Germany.
"Same view, Different Meaning" is the second album of S.P.E which they recorded in August 2021 in Stockholm during their Sweden-tour.
As the title suggests, the music on this CD is inspired by surrealism, and asks for an open ear from whoever listens to it.
"What a pleasure to hear Karel and his band on this new album Same View Different Meaning. While the trombone used to be one of the most emblematic instruments in jazz, there are very few of us today who can defend the trombone as a leading instrument. Karel is definitely one of these special player who offers here on this album a great group of musicians who really connect with one another.
Same View Different Meaning is a promising album and prove to only be the beginning of an exciting adventure Karel and his quintet will enjoy. My favorites are "Same View, Different Meaning Part II" and "Echo Chambers”."
