Rolf Ericson
came back to Sweden in the fall of 1950 after three years in the US, where
he had worked in the bands of Charlie Barnet, Woody Herman, Charlie Ventura,
Benny Carter and others. He even subbed for Red Rodney
during a week
in Charlie Parker's quintet in the New York club Three Deuces before returning
to Sweden.
A month after
this recording Charlie Parker would tour Sweden playing concerts with
Rolf and local musicians. In the Stockholm concert he played with the
quintet that Lars and Rolf co-led 1950-51. Gullin jammed with Parker after
the concert.
The band
on this recording hints at the band that Rolf Ericson and Arne Domnérus
would form together in the coming spring.
