     -------------------------

     The 75 min. of music on this CD (15 tunes) are comprised of six
     sessions recorded in studios in Copenhagen during 1956-66 - the last
     ten years of Rolf Billberg's life.
     Accompanying Swedish alto saxophonist Billberg on these sessions are
     the best of the modern Scandinavian jazz musicians of the time,
     including Lars Gullin, J°rgen Ryg, Atli Bj°rn, William Schi÷pffe and
     Niels-Henning ╪rsted Pedersen.
     The repertoire includes a spiritual, jazz standards, be-bop favorites
     and two of Billberg's own compositions. Some of the music on this CD
     has never been previously released.

     Rolf Billberg was one of the absolute most prominent Scandinavian
     jazz musicians of the 50's and 60's. Billberg was a unique
     individualist, contrasting burning lyricism with cool distance in his
     style of playing - a style influenced mainly by Charlie Parker and
     Lee Konitz. All the tunes on this CD - from "Ol' Man River" to "Opus
     De Funk" - present brilliant work by Billberg. Rolf Billberg
     characterized Scandinavian modern jazz in the sixties. Listen to this
     CD and enjoy Scandinavian modern jazz at its best!
