Opus 3 has made 3 albums with Tomas Örnberg´s BLUE FIVE and 3 with The Swedish Jazz Kings. Both bands are based upon the partnership with Bent Persson and Tomas Örnberg.
What they have done through the years could be considered a tribute to the Chicago Jazz era and, in many ways, a recreation of the music of Clarence Williams. Both Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet are, of course, also among the important musicians who have inspired this band.
No other band has so consistently made the Classic Jazz from this time - 1920 to 1930 - so alive and really revived it in such an authentic and positive way! The selection of tracks taken from those 6 albums, has great variation and really shows the broad spectrum of the musical choice of this band!
Features:
• Super Audio CD
• SACD Multi-Channel SACD Layer
• SACD Stereo SACD Layer
• This Hybrid SACD contains a 'Red Book' Stereo CD Layer which is playable on most conventional CD Players!
Musicians:
Tomas Örnberg, soprano saxophone, clarinet
Kenny Davern, clarinet
Roy Williams, trombone
Bob Barnard, trumpet, cornet
Bent Persson, trumpet, cornet
Total playing time, 78'35
