Arne Domnerus & Orchestra 1950/1951

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 587807) Dragon (Sweden), 1950/1951 — Condition: New Copy

Classic recordings from one of Sweden's first great bandleaders of the postwar years – reedman Arne Domnerus, heard here with his orchestra of the early 50s – which includes some great work from trumpeter Rolf Ericson and baritonist Lars Gullin! Domnerus, Gullin, and Ericson made a bit of a splash on the American recording scene of the time – which is no surprise, given the strength of these sides, and their continuation of an American jazz groove of the 40s. There's a bit of bop in the mix, but overall the main approach is more of a swing-based one – recorded in shorter takes, but still with enough room to let the solos crackle out nicely. Domnerus is mostly playing alto on the tunes, but also plays a bit of clarinet – and other players include Gunnar Svensson on piano and Rolf Blomqvist on tenor sax. Titles include "Git Straight", "Strange Enchantment", "Caravan", "Lillette", "Be My Love", "The Pipe", and "Barit". 26 tracks in all – and a great set of notes as well!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
