This is the first post (of two) , which I got some days ago. Thank you D.!!

Normally I do not post mp3 or for that matter download for myself - but there are exceptions.


And this recording really deserves to be spread - it was briefly available as CD but is unfortunately OOP.
(Maybe still is in print - I'll try to confirm it!)

Enjoy and thanks to the contributor.

Sevda is a unique fusion of Turkish music and Swedish jazz, which grooves naturally in exotic time signatures (like 7/8 and 9/4), blending textures, rhythms and swinging improvisations into an exciting whole. It was recorded live at a TV studio, and at the time nobody had any idea it would be issued as a record. On drums is the great Okay Temiz, who also played with Don Cherry for some time (as well as did Maffy Falay).

BERNT ROSENGREN "FLY ME TO THE SUN" (GAZELL, 1971)

Bernt Rosengren started to play Jazz in 1956. He became one of the leading musicians in sweden during the sixties. Through Don Cherry's influence he moved from hard bop into freer regions of sound.
He played among others with George Russell > http://follyfortoseewhat.blogspot.com/2009/10/george-russell-sextet.html < , Krzysztof Komeda, Okay Temiz, Maffy Falay, Tomasz Stanko and the Baden-Baden Free Jazz Orchestra.

This quartet was blowing off the roofs in the 1970´s in Sweden.
