Bernt Rosengren Big Band
CD (Item 641181) Caprice (Sweden), 1980 — Condition: New Copy
A wonderfully groovy album from Swedish reedman Bernt Rosengren – and a set that features key solo work from American players Horace Parlan on piano and Doug Raney on guitar! We'll admit that these players were what first drew us to the record – but we're honestly most impressed with Rosengren's work here – especially his amazing arrangements for the larger ensemble, which come across with the soulful styles and great mix of tones and colors you'd get in some of Quincy Jones' best big band work of the early 60s – maybe updated a bit more here with some of the modern elements that Bernt and his contemporaries are able to add. Parlan, Raney, and Rosengren all get plenty of room to solo – and one track features a nice trumpet solo from Lars Farnlof too – on titles that include "Hip Walk", "New Life", "Joe & Eye", "Naima", "The Humming Bees", "Blues Nerves", and "Sad Waltz". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
