Lars Gullin - Baritone Sax '1967 [2013]

Tracks list

Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. An amazing
American release from this legendary baritone saxophonist – one of a few
Swedish sessions that Lars issued here in the US at the time! The albums a
perfect introduction to Gullins groundbreaking work – that blend of soul,
swing, and modernism that easily made him one of the best talents on his
instrument in the postwar years – an overseas player to rival gians like
Pepper Adams or Serge Chaloff here in the US!

The work is some of Lars best from the decade – and the tracks feature
his modernist baritone in different groupings with top Swedish jazzmen of the
time – including Rune Ofwerman on piano, Arne Domnerus on alto, Rolf
Blomquist on tenor, Ake Persson on trombone, and George Riedel on bass. The
tracks are all longish (most are over 5 minutes), with a strong swing, and
introspective solos by Gulling that are some of his strongest of the time
– and titles include Perntz, Fedja, All Of Me, and So What.
