TWO SIDES OF LARS ERSTRAND

This recording really shows three sides of the world famous vibes player Lars Erstrand: in duo, trio and quintet settings! Together with Sweden's swing é1ite, he plays tunes like: Gladys, Move, Land Of The Midnight Sun, Exactly Like You, Reunion Blues, Cavatina, Concerto D'aranjuez, Sweet Georgie Fame, etc.
Roland Jivelid, tenor sax, Knud Jörgensen, piano, Bertil Fernqvist, guitar, Arne Wilhelmsson, bass and Pelle Hultén,drums

"Roland Jivelid's gently supple Stan Getz influenced tenor sax playing, softly humming Knud Jörgensen whose ingenious piano playing raises the temperature quite a few degrees, and not least the leader himself, with his vibes bursting forth into a glorious fireworks of glittering tonal cascades."
