Nobody's Blues but Mine We have built up this recording round a number and variety of guest soloists, to give a wide number of personal sounds. In addition to Bent Persson (tp), Olle Nyman (bj/gtr) and Bo Juhlin (sous), who of course all are members of the BLUE FIVE group, we find: Bob Barnard (tp), Keith Durston (p), Morten Gunnar Larsen (p), Joep Peeters (p), and Frans Sjöström (bass sax). "This is the most consistently satisfying CD album of 1920's small band jazz by a contemporary band that this writer has heard in years. One of the obvious reasons one discovers for this album is variety, is the fact that the BLUE FIVE as heard here consists of five generally different bands. The only instrumentalist heard throughout is soprano sax, clarinetist Tomas Örnberg, who has never sounded better on recordings. This collection of performances contains a winning combination of hot group ensembles and individual solo work. All this, plus a very generous playing time and truly outstanding recording quality, makes for an album this writer recommends most highly."(Mississippi Rag) |
