In April 1976, at the age of 74, the legendary swing saxophonist Benny Waters made a momentous appearance at the internationally famous jazz-blub Stampen often known as “The Pawnshop”, in Stockholm. This album is a memento of this concert and a wonderful musician. Worthy of note is the fact that the pianist on this recording is the late, great and unfortunately the most “underrecorded” Swedish swing piano player Björn Milder – yes, Joakim Milders father! – who was considered by many visiting musicians to be “world class”. And they should know!
Please note: This recording was made half a year before “Jazz at The Pawnshop”
“The only way to describe this extraordinary analogue recording (vintage 1976) is “smoothness plus”. With a degree of “liveness” that borders to the uncanny, Opus 3 Records has given us yet another fabulous album! Featuring the great (but sadly late, 1902 -1998) Benny Waters this album was recorded in The Pawnshop” in Stockholm. It´s probably the finest analogue jazz recording I have had the pleasure of listening to. The second track, “Some of these days”, is exceptional, and presented with a clarity and presence that is truly astounding! A “must buy” album for any audiophile jazz lover!”
