JAZZ AT THE PAWNSHOP PROPRIUS PROP7778-79 2LPs MINT
Arne Domnerus Bengt Hallberg Georg Riedel Egil Johansen Lars Ernstrand
December 1976 over a period of two evenings in a small jazz club called Stampen (The Pawn Shop) in Old Town Stockholm, Gert Palmcrantz recorded a leading group of Scandinavian jazzmen live. No rehearsals, re-takes, overdubs or sound level checks. Just a crossed pair of mics, the musicians started playing, the Swedish sound engineer pressed record and the rest has passed into Jazz and audiophile legend, and with justification.
Limehouse Blues gets things off to an exciting start, excellent solos all round, a coda that gets a bit out of hand, but it gets everything off to a super start. I’m Confessin’ shows the group in more mellow mood, but it is equally successful. High Life is a kind of Calypso piece in which Estrand plays without the motor on his vibes running, making it sound more like a Xylophone, Red Norvo of course often recorded on that instrument.
Jeeps Blues reminds us of Arne Domnerus’s liking for Johnny Hodges and it is interesting how his Alto playing sits in between Hodges and Parker, a great place to be! Lars Estrand contributes a fine solo here as he does again on Lady be Good. You can’t help being aware of the quality of Georg Reidel’s Bass work throughout and if we all had the chance to play with a drummer of Egil Johansen’s quality regularly, we would be very happy.
Take Five is taken at a faster tempo than the Brubeck version with Paul Desmond, but no-one sounds uncomfortable with either the 5/4 time or the tempo. Everything Happens to Me is a terrific tune and this is one of the best version of it I have heard, Arne’s theme statement is a delight. Barbados is a Parker original and Arne sounds just as comfortable in this role as he was in the Hodges one.
Stuffy comes from the Coleman Hawkins and is a nice easy swinger which seems to bring out the best in everyone, we even get a bit of stride piano from Bengt, but in a great solo, he again shows us just how inventive he could be.
