From his debut album in 1983, Lars Erstrand is here with his quintet doing his version of this typical composition by Milt Jackson (The Modern Jazz Quartet) – a most expressive player that differentiated himself from other vibraphonists in his attention to variations on harmonics and rhythm.
Trumpeter Bob Barnard from Australia is internationally wellknown for his unique mastery of everything from the 1920s Armstrong – like this track – to Swing and Mainstream. Produced by Tomas Örnberg from the Blue Five/Swedish Jazz Kings.
Sommar sång (Summer Song) is Peterson-Berger´s most famous piece, and recalls the warm, calm, harmonious and bright pre-summer evenings where the sun in the north almost never goes down – a very romantic ”Swedishness”!The Stockholm Guitar Trio really develope the potential of the conventional guitars possibilties in this beautiful song!
