Scott Hamilton - Swedish Ballads...and more 2013 (Size: 528.77 MB)
Description
Since long before the present flowering of native talent, Scandinavia has been a very jazz-friendly place. Miles Davis borrowed a Swedish folk song and called it Dear Old Stockholm. Quincy Jones wrote one of his first compositions, Stockholm Sweetnin', there in the 1950s. Both are among the seven numbers on this delectable set by the great American tenor saxophonist and a trio led by Jan Lundgren. Hamilton is famous for the consistent excellence of his playing but this time, sparked by Lundgren's inspired piano solos and crystal-clear accompaniment, he really surpasses himself. There may be a few more potential jazz standards here, too. (guardian.co.uk)
- - - Scott Hamilton har, alltsedan Sverigedebuten 1976, haft stor förkärlek för Sverige, väl motsvarad hos publiken. Nu knyts ytterligare band med denna cd, från Köpenhamn i december 2012, med Jan Lundgren vid pianot. Allt är inte ballader eller ens helsvenskt, Quincy Jones vackra Stockholm sweetnin' är undantaget. Men Ack Värmeland och, oväntat, den gamla beredskapsschlagern Min soldat finns med liksom Ove Linds klämmiga Swing in F. Nostalgilyssning förvisso men välgjort, värmande, kul. Lundgren är nog den bästa pianisten Scott haft och själv är han, 58, i sina bästa år. Speltrivseln är uppenbar. (svd.se) - - - Scott Hamilton - Swedish Ballads...and more 2013 (Stunt Records) 1.
