his 1979 album by Mount Everest, a Swedish group formed in 1970 and led by saxophonist Gilbert Holmström, features Ronny Jönsson (p), Matz Nilsson (b), and Anders Kjellberg (d). It was released as part of the Jazz i Sverige series, which showcases emerging Swedish jazz musicians. Highlights include the Afro-spiritual B1 track, where bright piano and saxophone dance atop polyrhythms, and the serene B3 track, where sounds drift gracefully through a spacious soundscape. The album is a refined Nordic jazz masterpiece, offering organic and beautiful sounds that are exceptionally soothing. Engineered by Jan Erik Kongshaug, renowned for his work on numerous ECM recordings, the audio quality is outstanding.
