I wasn't expecting anything too adventurous, certainly not earth-shattering. But it's good music, nice listening. I'm also a fan of Swedish jazz of this vintage, these tracks fit in well with others I have.

I figured you weren't. I just found it strange upon listening to these records that reviews published elsewhere (or general write-ups on these releases) elevated them on such a pedestal.

You've got some good sides going tonight (or whatever time of day it is in Australia).

Early afternoon (next day) down here and I really should be out in the yard, but... just one more :P

Most of what I read about these were in stereo magazine and from audiophiles; I got the impression that in some cases it was among the few jazz recordings known and in their collection. . . so they may have felt this was adventurous or ground-breaking with little context.

I think some folks try to listen to those Maynard Ferguson Roulette/etc records and miss the great writing that is so often there because they can't get past Maynard. Well, here's a chance to hear a lot of that same type of writing without Maynard. AND with Yusef, By George, Max (sometimes) primo Richard Williams, just a gaggle of giggers + 2 bonus cuts not on the original LP.

Don't know if this one has been raptured yet, but if not, carpe diem now, thank yourself later.
