Twenty-five years and still going strong is a major achievement for any independent record label, never mind an independent jazz record label. To mark this milestone, ACT have come up with a jubilee album comprising 13 tracks from a broad cross-section of their artists, only three of which have been previously released. Most of the selections are of fairly recent origin, eight from 2016, two from 2013 and one each for the years 2015, 2008 and 2003. Highlights are inevitably a subjective choice, but certainly master drummer Wolfgang Haffner and master pianist Michael Wollny in duo performing ‘Swing, Swing, Swing’ is one for anybody's playlist. There are some affecting performances that remember Esbjörn Svensson, an important figure in ACT's history as much as in European jazz – from 2003 comes ‘Monologue’ with vocalist Viktoria Tolstoy and Svensson himself on piano; there's ‘Dodge the Dodo’ with a group including Adam Baldych (violin), Magnus Lindgren (flute) and Iiro Rantala (piano); Rantala's own ‘Tears for Esbjörn’, plus Svensson's performance of ‘Prelude in D Minor’ from 2005. And no ACT celebration would be complete without performances by Nils Landgren, another of the label's key figures, who produces a fine performance of Sting's ‘Shadows in the Rain’, accompanied by Wollny and Lars Danielsson. Finally, there is an intriguing left-of-centre collaboration between saxophonist Emile Parisien, accordion-player Vincent Peirani, vocalist Andreas Shaerer and Wollny that's worth the price of this excellent compilation alone.
