Daniel Borgegård Älgå – bass clarinet, flute and soprano saxophone
Leif Jordansson – guitars
Pelle Vallgren – drums
REKON started as a duo 2019 with Leif Jordansson on guitars. An Ipad with editing programs functioned like a third member. Later the drummer Pelle Vallgren joined in and the music had a chance to grow wider and more psychedelic. Sometimes starting as a jazz trio but ending up in a beautiful, disturbed David Lynch-like world.
REKON released their debut album in september 2020.

The Best Jazz on Bandcamp, September 2020:
”Good God, what a beautiful recording this is. The trio of bass clarinetist Daniel Borgegård Älgå (who doubles on flute), guitarist Leif Jordansson, and drummer Pelle Vallgren cast bright melodies like sunlight across haunting sonic landscapes. There’s an undercurrent of tension throughout—an effect that is just as likely to evoke anxiousness as it might a comforting assurance. A mix of Euro jazz and Swedish folk influences combine for an intoxicating blend of expressions. This is the soundtrack for the changing of seasons from summer to autumn.”
