More from Bernt Rosengren and his friends. Also a couple of pieces which could be from the Sevda session posted by Owombat some days ago.
Here's again this irresistible "swing" which makes me smile...

  6. @ Calisan.

    thanks for your appreciation.

    As I have no scanner I use a digital camera for taking pictures from LPs/covers I have.
    I virtually started to take pictures with a camera at the moment I started to post on IS!
    Maybe the resolution on the camera could be better through adjusting it - but I simply do not know how to do it.
    The camera was a kind of gift but without a manual.

  7. Thanks mate, Bernt Rosengren's albums are always welcome as they are becoming difficult to get.
    By the way I recently started a blog where I post little-known albums - mostly European so far, but it's not exclusive. For the time being I've only posted rips of OOP CDs I had on my hard-drive but i hope to start posting rare LP rips as soon as I get time to rip them (I'm most of the time working abroad).
    Cheers

  10. I really think this album is in the "if-you´re-gonna-buy-one-album-of creative-jazz-in-your-whole-life-this-is-it" category... The freeness of these minds at this specific occasion is nothing less than mind-blowing! It´s a pity though, that you cannot hear the version of the 2nd Piano Concerto by Sergei Rachmaninov anymore (it was forbidden by his ancestors (something I, a big lover of Rachmaninov after hearing this album, can not understand and really goes against any will of Sergei´s. Shame on you! Anyway, the songs that you can still listen to are amazing! LOVE IT!
