BENGT NORDSTRÖM – Bird Note EP

Feb.02, 2012

Bengt”Frippe” Nordström,  music minus one,  45 rpm (SWE), 1962

limited edition, 5 –  10 copies made

the vinyl document of all time! my absolute favourite music on vinyl… I KID YOU NOT!

Bengt Nordström, that also produced Albert Aylers first epos”Something Different”, plays on the EP four (4!!) versions of Ornette Coleman´s classic “When will the blues leave” – Together (!) with the Ornette Coleman Quintet… from a LP played in the background in Bengt´s kitchen in 1962! Hilarious… this music have everything!

Bengt is starting to solo usually when Walter Norris is starting his own solo… and after that Bengt plays along ( and over ) and also take the out – head together with Ornette and Don.. to finish the take.

amazing versions… and they are all pretty different! absolutely FANTASTIC! Music ( and life … ) doesnt get better than this!!!

This copy was given to me by Bengt back in the early 90´s.
