LARS ERSTRAND Following their successful collaboration in the quintet setting from the "Two Sides" recording with Knud Jörgensen (Piano), Roland Jivelid (tenor sax), Arne Wilhelmsson (bass) and Pelle Hultén (drums), the gang returns with pieces like: There With You, Body And Soul, Too Good To Be True, T And S, The Rabbit Jumps etc. "I think Body And Soul must be Erstrand's most successful recording. In two solo choruses he builds up a firework climax which is quite brilliant. In the last eight bars the piece is rounded off with a subdued reversion to the theme. Thanks to the accompainiment maintaining the basic tempo instead of following the double tempo of the vibes, Erstrand's playing attains extra altitude." (Orkesterjournalen)
