   ________________________________________________________________________________

      This quintet plays straight-ahead, melodic jazz, flavoured with blues,
      swing and bebop. Hacke Bj÷rksten is the leader and tenor saxophonist who,
      together with drummer Ronnie Gardiner make up the elder generation in the
      group. Pianist Mathias Algotsson, bassist Hans Backenroth and 25-year-old
      trumpeter Karl Orlandersson represent the younger generations.

      All five belong to the elite among Swedish jazz musicians and share a
      common attitude to how jazz should be played. Hacke has composed a large
      portion of the repertoire, which otherwise consists of evergreens from the
      American songbook, and he has arranged all the music. With this, their
      debut CD, Hacke Bj÷rksten's generation-integrated quintet has made a
      valuable contribution to Swedish jazz history. From the leader's flowing
      sax lines in the spirit of Zoot Sims to the brilliant youthful trumpet
      cascades of Karl Orlandersson.

      This is jazz of the most vital kind that is guaranteed to bring a feeling
      of satisfaction to the majority of jazz enthusiasts.

      Recorded in Stockholm, September 2004.
