Instrumental, Swedish vocals
International relevance: ***
As in many places, fusion was a big
thing in Sweden in the 70's, prompting several forgettable outfits to
produce a fair amount of vastly forgettable albums. Enter Sundance,
whose pedestrian 1976 effort is most notable for featuring
Ahmadu Jarr on three tracks, and excellent jazz maestro
Gilbert Holmström on flute and various saxophones. The album is tedious at best, annoying at worst mainly due to Carl-Axel Hall's
intrusive clavinet, and Anita Nyman's equally irritating vocals – ”Some Drunk” is especially grating.
Other players include guitarist Ulf
Wakenius (Guitars Unlimited, Hawk On Flight among others), Neils
Nordin (Hawk On Flight, Tottas Bluesband with former Nynningen singer
Totta Näslund), trumpeter Stephen Frankevich (Soffgruppen), and session
cellist Ingemar Brantelid.
