This album marks the Quartet's third release in jsut five years. The internationally recognized jazz quartet consisting of one Danish and three Swedes, hoping their new album will be able to touch listeners ina nd outside the jazz world. The album is dedicated to the refugees who come to the north in recent years and SE-Quartet allows a portion of the album sales go to charity. Going North title aimed at the refugees who come here, and at teh same time a musical reference, because the music has a Nordic tone based on the Scandinavian jazz. The music captivates with its beautiful melodies and energetic beats, and a responsive interaction with epic improvisations. On the more grandiose song Even Death Will Die involved the award-winning chamber choir Stella. The compositions have SE-Quartet put extra focus on breaking the traditional framework that jazz music often with theme-solo-theme form. An example of this is the song Wilhelmina - Storuman beginning with a melodic soprano sax theme that develops into a B part with fast unison piano-sax phrases and out into a free piano-drum improvisation. SE-Quartet also get inspiration from different genres like gospel music, avant-garde, classical, popular music and soul to break boundaries. SE-Quartet do not want to be judgmental but calls for something that they believe is in the long run. This call is illustrated in the song The Power of Forgiveness Rasmus H Thomsen wrote for a radio worship service with the South African Desmond Tutu. Being able to forgive is the most powerful toolt o unite regardless terms of conflicts between countries, communities, or if it is about a wounded relationship between two people.
