V11: Swedish Jazz History
) | Label: Caprice Records Catalog: CAP 22067 Format: COMPACT DISC VARIOUSSvensk jazzhistoria is a unique series about the evolution of jazz in Sweden, published by Caprice Records. While the first ten volumes reflect the years between 1899 and 1969, this red-hot eleventh installment delves deep into the 1970s. On four albums with a total of 62 tracks, and a book of 188 pages, we summarize a vigorous, explosive, and many-sided decade of Swedish jazz. Like with the preceding ten volumes, volume 11 is the masterstroke of “jazz archaeologist” Jan Bruer. Assisting him this time is Viveka Hellstrom and Jorgen Adolfsson, both research assistants at the Swedish Centre for Folk Music and Jazz Research. All three of them describe the 1970s as a decade characterized by a large breadth of styles, and many new inspirations.  Price: $77.98 |
