Tracks list

Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. The premise of
this Atlantic set is a bit unusual. The Art Farmer Quartet (consisting of
flÃ¼gelhornist Farmer, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer
Pete LaRoca), which was together from 1962-1964 (after the demise of the
Jazztet), was passing through Stockholm, Sweden at the time of this date and the
musicians felt inspired to record a full album of traditional Swedish folk
songs.

Respect is paid to the often haunting melodies, and Farmer sounds quite at home
in this context, sometimes hinting a bit at Chet Baker. Fortunately, not all of
the tunes are taken at a ballad pace, and once the themes are fully stated,
Farmer and Hall have plenty of harmonically sophisticated solos. The bands cool
and restrained style suits the music perfectly, turning it into jazz without
losing its essence. Although a brief set (at under 33 minutes), every note
counts on this successful outing.
