This is Kenny Daverns second recording for Opus 3. The first one was recorded in 1981 with 
"Tomas Örnbergs BLUE FIVE" (Opus 3 CD 8003) - which was the way the Swedish Jazz Kings 
labelled themselves back then - and which among other things received the Swedish Gramophone Award for the best Swedish jazz recording in 1982.
      Kenny Davern is today one of the most interesting clarinet player in the world. His very own tone and phraseology and may be also the biggest and fattest tone a jazz clarinettist ever had, makes Kenny Davern totally unique - and furthermore, nobody has developed and used the clarinet's dynamic potential to the same extent as Kenny Davern.
      This CD consists of tracks from three sessions. Besides the regular members of The Swedish Jazz Kings (Bandleader Tomas rnberg cl & sop, Bent Persson trp & cnt, Olle Nyman gtr & bj and Bo Juhlin sous & bass) we will hear together with Kenny Davern the excellent English pianist Martin Litton. In the other sessions we would very much like to mention the outstanding English trombone player Bob Hunt, Frans Sjstrm on bass saxophone and the pianists Keith Durston and Chris Hopkins.
