Music from Sweden

The only album by the Swedish group Kultivator, recorded in 1980 and issued in 1981: Swedish-language progressive rock that blends Canterbury lightness with Zeuhl drive, here expanded with a second disc of bonus material.

Box with both Caprice albums by Sevda, Maffy Falay’s Turkish folk and jazz group with Okay Temiz and Salih Baysal: the 1972 Jazz i Sverige record and the Montmartre live set, plus a DVD of the Swedish TV programmes.

Chapter Seven, Bengt Berger’s Swedish supergroup of three saxophones, two basses and two drummers, on its 1988 Jazz in Sweden album: West African and Indian accents, with tunes by Ornette Coleman and Offenbach.

Portrait of Bengt Hambræus, no. 20 of the Caprice Composers Series: Rota II for multi-channel loudspeakers, made from processed bells and organ, the orchestral Ricordanza and Symphonia Sacra for choir, winds and percussion.

Solo piano by Per Henrik Wallin: eight pieces from his 1982 Caprice LP One Knife Is Enough and eight recorded in spring 2003, abrupt shifts between free and fettered playing from one of Sweden’s most individual jazz pianists.

Concert recording from the Berwald Hall in Stockholm by KammarensembleN under B. Tommy Andersson: works by Xenakis, Boulez, Grisey, Eric Tanguy and Varèse played by soloists from the Stockholm orchestras.

Split LP in the Portraits GRM series: Jules Négrier’s two-movement electronic piece An Iris Crackled Like Eyelids meets Maria W Horn’s All Solids Melt Into Aether, organ chords pushed to their limits against computer-generated tones.

Original and sole edition of the massive 1975 double-album on Caprice's "Jazz i Sverige" series of highly original Swedish avantgarde free jazz which even appeared on the NWW list. Never re-issued on either LP or CD.
