BO NILSSON – Gorillan, GPS 1004, 45 rpm (SWE) 1966

 

Very very scarce and rare 7”

 

The Swinging world of Bo Nilsson presents ”Gorillan går in” (The Gorilla walks in) and ”Gorillan går ut” ( The Gorilla walks out) is a swedish classic. Unfortunately very rare to find.

soundtrack to the film “Träfracken”.

A very special collaboration between the ex Darmstadt composer Bo Nilsson and a bunch of reallly happening jazz musicians, including the mighty Norwegian tenor sax of Bjarne Nerem and the amazing swedish trumpet player Rolf Ericsson (of Ellington and Mingus – fame). The composer is featured on congas…

music is a very groovy funky jazz piece of SWING…(det svänger så att det svartnar…..)

and the cover is just…. freakin excellent!!!

Bo NIlsson made some amazing music in the 50´s and some  spectacular collaborations in the 60´s and 70´s. Most famous being the classic ”Lidingö Airport” that he composed for the mindblowing organ & drum duo Hansson & Carlsson.

This is very very special music and totally worth go looking for. The concept is great , cover is happenimng and the music spectacular. I KID U NOT!
