Danny's dream 1953-55 (Vol.8) Music CD

Swedens most important jazz musician of the 1950s, baritonist Lars Gullin had a tone somewhere between Gerry Mulligan and Serge Chaloff and a dry but swinging style. Dannys Dream, the eighth in a series of Dragon CDs that reissue many of his most important sessions, has three dates that put the spotlight on Gullins playing in small groups. The first numbers are quartet/quintet numbers with tenor saxophonist Carl-Henrik Norin on three numbers. That set and the two other quartet sessions all feature guitarist Rolf Berg as a key soloist and also include George Riedels tasteful bass. The most famous selection is Gullins Dannys Dream, a haunting ballad that was considered his greatest hit. Overall, this volume gives listeners a strong sampling of Lars Gullins baritone performing West Coast-style cool jazz. 1. Bugs 2. Jump For Fan 3. Stocks And Bonds 4. I Fall In Love Too Easily 5.
