The overlooked compilation


Few may have noticed – I didn't – the existence of a sampler with gems from the magnificent ten volumes Swedish Jazz 1928–1969. But it was published in 2006 as a single CD, simply called Compilation. It offers a nice selection, including the Paramount Orchestra from 1928, the Swedish Hot Quintette with Emil Iwring on violin and Stan Hasselgard in his classic masterpiece All the things you are.
And four tracks featuring Lars Gullin: Barit with the Domnérus band (50-08), Bengt Halbergs group with Side Car (53-17), Gullin's own Fedja (56-09) and Nils Lindberg's Brand New (60-03).
Look for Caprice CAP 21777.
