These dark and delightful quartet tracks were recorded in the summer of 1962 in

Stockholm.  I've enjoyed a noisy CDR for years, forgetting the exact source format

which I suspect was the lowly cassette tape.  Lately I purchased a legit CD

because of all those listens and even though the CD too is noisy....the music

I find wonderful. It sets a pensive, somewhat mournful mood.


John Lewis is famous for his work with Modern Jazz Quartet.....his playing is

nearly always concise, tasteful, and lacking superfluous notes.  Svend Asmussen's

soulful violin is the perfect complement for Lewis.  He adds double stops in all 

the right places.

both these guys can swing their gloots off at slow tempo...no easy task
