Where Do You Go? is an impressive and moving debut statement from the Swedish drummer and composer Cornelia Nilsson and features her in two trio settings (both with fellow Swede and bassist Daniel Franck). One session features the brilliant American pianist Aaron Parks, and the other features Hungarian tenor titan Gabor Bolla. Nilsson brought a bunch of originals along to both recording sessions and chose some personal favorites as covers that she thought would cater to the groups' sounds and personalities. 'Making an album with my music symbolizes a breaking point in my life. Music has lifted me countless times, and I wanted that to shine through. To express everything honestly and transparently - the explosiveness, fragility, the ugliness, rawness, and the softer things, too', says Cornelia. It's a stunning debut, and with her two world-class trios, Cornelia Nilsson shows us that her moment has arrived.
