Notes: Studio 12, Sveriges Radio 20-21/6 1999. Recording and mixning: Åke Linton Reviews: ...”tenor sax hero Erik Norström is the force that drives this band to reach for something beyond”... Drummer Magnus Gran -- with his exquisite brushwork and skittering, dancing sense of rhythm (something Strayhorn loved in skin men) -- is included, here are the makings of a formidable quartet”... these Swedes have a solid handle on what interpretation really means: They read these tunes through the prism of the present rather than ape them for their former glory”.
