SOL SOL - WHAT YEAR IS IT?:
Second album by this Swedish jazz quartet featuring Elin Forkelid, David Stackenäs, Mauritz Agnas and Anna Lund. A solid listen through all four sides, especially "Canada" and "Interface" are great. This is the second release on the Sail Cabin label, following Forkelid's excellent "Plays For Trane" from 2020. PLEASE NOTE: These are brand new copies from the label but all or most copies seem to have a dish warp from manufacturing, plays well on our equipment.

ART FARMER / PHIL WOODS - WHAT HAPPENS:
Rare Italian LP with these two jazz luminaries together with Daniel Humair, Martial Solal and Henri Texier. Listen to the version of Kenny Dorham's "Blue Bossa" or "Watch What Happens", but this LP stands up all through.
