Orkesterjournalen 1967 Sahib Shihab

Very nice sleeve to this swedish jazz magazine back in 1967, also very intresting to read that Kenny Clarke and combo made a small concert during lunchtime at Åhlens, one of Stockholms largest department stores, I wish I had been there as it must have been stunning.

Ferdinand Povel quartet

Another top dutch jazz 7", almost 7 minutes of the finest jazz from 1967,lovely piece!.

Lou Rawls Dead end street

Amazing 7", Party tune for sure...

John Coltrane Giant steps

I have "Naima" among the 10 best jazz tunes ever, lovely little cassette.

Jan Johansson Jazz Balett 63 Phonoband

This one was later issued as "Rörelser" on LP but with a different sleeve, this sleeve is magical.

Painting

Another very fine painting from my fathers vaults.

August 2011

Joe Newman in Sweden

Original Swedish press with laminated sleeve, one of the finest sleeves ever in front of The Drottningholm castle in Stockholm.

Super Mario

My son has after spending so many hours playing Super Mario developed into Mario.....

Stool

My mother´s latest creation, such a lovely stool.....

Mutiny on the mamaship /Jerome Brailey

Life would be tremendously boring if only listening to jazz...This LP I bought the same year as it came out back in 1979 and few Lp´s has survived in my collection but this one still sound as amazing as when I bought it.

A true masterpiece wich never has received its recognition as one of the true classics, pumping drums and a fierce guitar that lays like a carpet of madness throughout the whole LP.

Cool lyrics " sworn to fun loyal to none"and great harmonies, the ultimate P-funk LP.

Some of you must be thinking that I´ve gone crazy but I tell you you haven´t heard anything until you listen to this LP. If I were to bring only 10 lp´s to a desert island, this one would be one of them for sure.

"What more can I say".............

Tino Contreras EP Misa En jazz

Such a cool spanish ep, very rare and the info tells us this was withdrawn as the music was way out for the church.

July 2011

Sade cover

1960´s Canadian jazz LP, not only the best jazz LP from Canada it is also the most beautiful sleeve. Thanks Chris!!

Treedansers

My father has found some really early works by him and here´s a nice one from around 1965.

Elaine Delmar EP 1962

Marvellous voice and one of my top jazz ep´s, this danish press is even superior to the original u.k. press.

Monica Zetterlund first single 1958

I thought the days where over for new discovery´s but here´s one that suprised me just recently, apparently this one was pressed in 1958 first in the U.K. as a promo and then later the same year in Norway but then with yellow vinyl.
I can´t find any info in the books about this one therefore it must be considered extremly rare and also my guess is that not many copies could have been made of this promo.
The sound quality is way superior comparing to the norwegian press on this Monica Zetterlund first 7" record.

Jimmy Cliff in Brazil 196? LP

Such an oddity!, it would be really intresting to know who is playing aside with Jimmy on this one, the sleeve reveals no information, several of the tunes is very funky in James Brown style, great singer!!

Lovely women

60´s drawing by my father, great!!

Lisa Linn EP

On danish Domino label early 60´s comes this probably best female vocal version of "night in Tunisia", exclusively rare piece.

Big little cassettes

It is time to dust off your old cassette deck and start diggin for these lovely ones!!
Soon noone will even remember that there existed such a thing like cassettes, these are still sealed and make me an offer I can´t refuse.......original Lou Donaldson and Jimmy Smith.

May 2011

Stockholm Skyline

Drawing by my father, for some reason even though it is only black and white I can feel that it is a warm summer night in the early 60´s and Lars Gullin is playing in the back, one of my favourites among my fathers works.

Klaus Doldinger Bossa nova ep

This one came in 2 different sleeves , this one I find most exciting.
1962 Germany of course.

Khan Jamal

"the known unknown", one of the best jazz tunes ever...

It´s time

for another of my fathers really early work from the 60´s....................

Beeing a kid late 60´s early 70´s

When I grew up our parents use to buy a new record and gather us around the turntable to listen to the new thing, jazz on Impulse! Back sleeve of a very famous swedish lp for children, Beppe sings and tells his own stories.

Sonny Rollins 1963

Cool swedish folder from 1963 to promote Sonny Rollins new albums.

Hacke Björksten concert poster 1960´s

Oscar Rocchi quintet LP

Fabolus italian jazz LP from 1977, but what strikes me most is the beautiful sleeve, exclusively hard to find in good condition this one.

Ost ep The Boy in the tree

Original music composed by Quincy Jones for the Arne Sucksdorff film The boy in the tree, lovely sleeve and made in Sweden 1961.
In 1965 Sucksdorff made one of my favourite movies, My home is Copacabana wich is a sort of a documentary following some kids living in the streets and beaches of Rio, highly recommended.

N.7 On the jazz 7"

I just bought this lovely little 7", by purchasing this one I supported The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway ( not everyday one support something by buying records), however this I bought mainly for the beautiful sleeve as I am a bit soft for Locomotives,argo and jazz, and if I am tempted someday to go by train I can always listen to it.

Miles Davis LP Collectors item Italian

Another fine example of an Italian press with different sleeve.

LP record bag

How about this cool LP record bag?, made in Japan in limited edition and was never for sale only for promotion, Fontana label on the other side of the bag.

Pierre Henry

Last year at antique fair in Utrecht I purchased this great poster 50 X 70 cm for an George Mathieu exhibition in Austria in 1959, what´s most intresting is that apparently electronic music pioneer from France Pierre Henry contributed with the music for this exhibition.
A very nice original piece that must appeal to any Pierre Henry fan.
