"Nils Landgren is one of the best-known Swedish jazz trombonists, and is quite a veteran in the field. I'm amazed that I'm the first to review this disc. It is fabulous in so many ways, not the least of which is Landgren's playing. He is supple, creative and exciting as a soloist. Sometimes it's hard to believe he's playing a trombone!! Some of his originals are a little less interesting, but the covers are great. Well worth the money!"
