If you're not familiar with This Artist or Release, here's some additional information: "The recordings were made in Stockholm on 6 & 7 December 1976 by recording engineer Gert Palmcrantz. The producer and record company owner Jacob Boethius kept a watching eye on the proceedings. One microphone pair spaced 20 cm apart was responsible for the main pick-up, with a couple of microphones placed to register the "live" atmosphere of the Pawnshop jazz club and a few discrete support mikes - all recorded on to a pair of two-track Nagra tape recorders by Gert Palmcratz in the restaurant kitchen! All who have listened to the recordings can vouch for its realism and uncanny "you are there-feeling " you simply enter a new, musical world: But the superb technology of the recording is only part of it the musicianship and skill of Sweden's finest jazz musicians is just as important. These experienced gentlemen were at the height of their powers these winter evenings more than 30 years ago. The group was lead by alto saxophone player Arne Domnerus, who was once described by Charlie Parker as "a very good player, almost as good as me". Pianist Bengt Hallberg had impressed Stan Getz when moving through the strangest of keys without any effort, and the rhythm section of bass player Georg Riedel and drummer Egil Johansen was the finest in Sweden at the time. It swings and cooks, all through well-known and loved songs such as In a Mellow Tone, High Life, Take Five and a string of other standards and jazz favorites. Treat yourself to a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience!".

The Vinyl is Near Mint (9-9.5 of 10) in condition. With Plain Paper Inner Sleeve. The cover is very nice. The issues to report: some very slight edge wear and some very minor corner rounding. Stunning Copy of this Audiophile Quality Jazz Essential!!
