Description
180g audiophile vinyl edition. Sweden in the '60s was experiencing the serge of cool jazz (Tristano tradition) and saw young alto saxophonist Rolf Billberg emerged on the scene as one of its most talented practitioners. Due to his premature death at age 35 ten months after this recording his name never made it to the stardom. This hitherto unknown album is one rare testimony to the state of Swedish jazz scene. It was recorded in November 1965 privately in the legendary live/rehearsal basement club Subland in Malmo.
Rolf Billberg: alto saxophone
Kjell Noren: guitar
Lucas Lindholm: bass
Lasse Lindstrom: drums
Recorded live at Club Subland, Malmo, Sweden, November 1965
