Swedish Jazz Kings & Ornberg's Blue Five - A Selection

The Swedish Jazz Kings & �rnberg's Blue Five has so consistently made the Classic Jazz from this time - 1920 to 1930 - so alive and really revived it in such an authentic and positive way!We have made 3 albums with Tomas �rnberg's Blue Five and 3 with The Swedish Jazz Kings.Both bands are based upon the partnership with Bent Persson and Tomas �rnbergWe feel that what they have done through the years is a really a tribute to the Chicago Jazz era and in many ways a recreation of the music of Clarence Williams. Both Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet are of course also among the important musicians who have inspired this band. I do not think that any band in the world has so consistently made the Classic Jazz from this time - 1920 to 1930 - so alive and really revived it in such an authentic and positive way!The selection of tracks we have made from those 6 albums, has great variation and really shows the broad spectrum of the musical choice of this band!And last but not least; featuring three outstanding guests: Kenny Davern (cl), Roy Williams (tb) & Bob Barnard (crnt/tp) together with Bent Persson (crnt/tp), who is a regular member of the band.
