THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SWEDISH VERSION OF THE ALBUM AND NOT THE LATER ISSUE RELEASED ON SOUL NOTE A FEW YEARS LATER
Seminal Swedish recordings from George Russell with a band made up of superb Swedish Jazz musicians!! The centerpiece of the album is the incredible "Electronic Sonata For Souls Loved By Nature" – a tune recorded often by Russell, but done here in a stunning 60 minute version (broken up into 3 parts) that really opens up wonderfully – a flurry of horn parts played by a larger group that includes Lennart Aberg on tenor and soprano, Arne Domnerus on alto and clarinet, Jan Garbarek on tenor, Berndt Egerbladh on vibes, Bengt Hallberg on piano, and Terje Rypdal on guitar – all key Scandinavian modernists, really given sharp focus here by Russell! The "sonata" got a romping, rhythmic pulse that really holds things together – even when the horns get a bit free – and it's followed by the equally great "Now & Then", which echoes a bit of the main theme, then goes way off into left field! The 2LP set also features "Concerto For Self-Accompanied Guitar", played by Rune Gustaffson.
