PER-HENRIK WALLIN QUARTET "UMEÅ, 1978"

Hideo's request for a re-up of "The New Figaro" of the Per-Henrik Wallin Trio on Dragon Records helped me to remember another recording of this excellent musician.
Here we have another drummer - Erik Dahlbäck - who played a lot with Wallin (see here) throughout the late seventies and eighties.
And Torbjörn Hultcrantz is no stranger to regular followers of this blog - he played on Albert Ayler's LP "The First Recordings". 
 Also with Don Cherry, Dexter Gordon, Bernt Rosengren a.o. and in 1956 with Lars Gullin f.e.

Maybe someone can help with the sequence of the titles etc.

08. unknown title           05:18
09. unknown title           02:04
10. radio outro             00:17

Recorded at Umeå Jazz Festival, Umeå, Sweden on October 27, 1978.

According the announcer the following titles were played:
1. Till Hill (Wallin); 2. Torbe's Blues (Hultcrantz); 3. The Opener (Wallin); 4. My One And Only Love (Wood/Mellin);
5. P? Swing (Wallin); 6. ?? (Dahlbäck); 7. Wuppertal (Wallin); 8. Journey To You (??); 9. ??(??)

Maybe tr.4 is 'My one and only love'?

DON CHERRY "MOVEMENT INCORPORATED" (ANAGRAM, 1967)

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.

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.
