“Live at the Pawnshop”
The Legendary Eva Taylor
with Maggie's Blue Five
We think that magic is the word that comes to mind in connection with this recording. It was certainly a magic night at the Pawnshop (Stampen) in March 1976 when a young lady of 81 completely captured and entranced the audience with her stage presence and vibrant personality. Her communication with the musicians and audience combined to elevate her artistry beyond the aural level to include that indefinable ingredient…atmosphere. This atmosphere was retrieved from our vaults from 31 years ago and, like a good wine, has aged well as lovers of jazz from the twenties will appreciate.
Eva Taylor is a direct link with the great era of jazz when she was singing with the Clarence Williams Blue Five and also with Louis Armstrong and Sidney Becher, who were coming to their peak as influential jazz geniuses in the mid-twenties.
The band which perfectly complements her artistry is Maggie's Blue Five and includes Bent Persson and Thomas Örnberg, who together later formed Thomas Örnberg's Blue Five and then The Swedish Jazz Kings.
