Since1962, Leonardo Pedersen?s Jazzkapel has been Denmark?s tightest, hard-swinging ?almost? big band, in the musical tradition of Count Basie, Quincy Jones and Louis Jordan.
Thus, they provided perfect backing for the three guest soloists ? Harry ?Sweets? Edison, Eddie ?Lockjaw? Davis and Richard Boone ? all alumni of the Count Basie Band.
While there is a distinct Kansas City/Count Basie feel to this album, the repertoire also includes some Horace Silver bop classics and Louis Jordan jump-jive favourites.
The three guest soloists here are true individual stylists ? their sound is immediately identifiable. Thanks to their obvious compatibility with Leonardo Petersen?s Jazzkapel, ?Sweets?, ?Lockjaw? and Richard Boone play ? and sing ? with the same brilliance and passion as in their heyday with the Count.
