Eje Thelin Quintet

A never-heard live session from the great Eje Thelin – a mid 70s set that has the trombonist working with a cool quartet that includes some Fender Rhodes from Harald Svensson – who makes a wonderful partner for Thelin's long-blown lines! Eje had already grown tremendously as a musician in the 60s – from bop to modern to avant in the space of a few short years – and here, he moves back into more soulful territory which opens up perfectly next to the Rhodes – with these very fluid, open solos that almost feel as if they would be right at home on CTI, but which also have some darker, edgier touches too. The rest of the group features Bruno Raberg on bass and Leroy Lowe on drums and the set features 10 tracks, the full performance, presented here in unedited form.
