Jonas Hellborg & Shawn Lane - Personae ( 2002 ) Personae is an album by bass guitarist Jonas Hellborg, released on February 26, 2002 through Bardo Records.

It is exactly this multifaceted process of personal...
Laut Jonas Hellborgs These verstehen viele weiße Europäer das Wort „Groove“ vollkommen falsch, nämlich, dass man den Groove in der Musikschule lernen könnte. In seinem Bass-Workshop erklärt Hellborg, dass es, wenn man über Timing und Rhythmus redet, grundsätzlich um die Genauigkeit der Zeit geht. Hellborg vergleicht dies mit dem Bild, einen perfekten Kreis zu ziehen.

Jonas Hellborg & Shawn Lane - Temporal Analogues Of Paradise Temporal Analogues of Paradise is an album by bassist Jonas Hellborg, with guitarist Shawn Lane and drummer Jeff Sipe, released in 1996 through Day Eight Music; a remastered edition was reissued through Bardo Records in 2004. It was recorded live at different locations in Sweden, France and Germany during the trio's extensive touring in '95/'96. Totally improvised, though still achieving a distinct musical dynamic and structure, the album marks a "headsplittingly magnificent" (Mac Randall, Musician Magazine) reference peak in rock/fusion history,[4] not only through astounding technical virtuosity, but especially through an exploring, emotional flow of ideas that the artists are able to communicate, individually and as a group....
