Recorded in 1959, Featuring Lars Gullin on baritone sax and Franco Cerri on Double Bass!
Arranged by George Gruntz, Piero Umiliani and Lars Gullin, this Classy swing album include a great version of "Blues for Gassman" and the Track "Peter of April".
In this record the style of every arranger is different: Piero Umiliani seems to prefer one way "well defined" of expressions, that entirety series level the execution in one well balanced way!
George Gruntz seems to orient itself towards a swing burning that leaves wide space to great solos....
Lars Gullin seems to love one figure of the short solos, alternatively to the members of the octet it completes them from the frequent spaces of the resources of the "insieme"....
