Staffan Abeleen & Lars Farnlof – Quintets 1961 to 1966
CD (Item 375264) Dragon (Sweden), 1960s — Condition: New Copy
These guys may not be a household name, but they're a heck of a great group – and one of the best European combos we've heard from the time! Staffan is a pianist, and Lars is a trumpet and cornet player – and it's clear that the group have taken some cues from the classic Cannonball Adderley Sextet of the Riverside years. But even more importantly, they seem to be working here in that "soul jazz into modern" style that showed up on a lot of the Cannonball-produced records from the same period – a mode that's still somewhat grounded in a rootsy, rhythm-based sound – but which also breaks out with some incredible tones, colors, and modes – shading in the set with a depth that we never would have expected! The CD features a range of different recordings by the group – including one with vocals by the lovely Monica Zetterlund – and the overall quality of the work is at or above that of the usual Blue Note or Prestige session from the same period! 11 tracks in all – with titles that include "Paronet I Montecello", "Atarax", "Fin Sikt Over Havet", "Pia", "Juan Les Pins", "Farfars Vals", and "Maybe Tomorrow". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
