It is not surprising that altoist
Arne Domnerus (who doubles on clarinet) and
Bob Wilber (heard here on alto, soprano and clarinet) make for a mutually inspiring team, for both of the musicians are flexible and swing-based. Although
Wilber contributed a few originals and there are a couple of obscurities, the bulk of this sextet set with pianist
Bengt Hallberg, guitarist
Rune Gustafsson, bassist
Sture Nordin and drummer Rune Carlsson consists of spirited versions of swing standards including "Jumpin' at the Woodside," "Stompin' at the Savoy" and "I Double Dare You." The CD reissue adds two
Benny Goodman-associated numbers ("Seven Come Eleven" and "Rachel's Dream") from a slightly later session with a different rhythm section and the clarinets of
Ove Lind and Anders Ohman.
