SANSARA – Sansara Music Band (Sonet, 1978)

Instrumental
 International relevance: ***
 
An all-star line-up comprising a number of prominent jazz cats such as Bernt Rosengren, Fredrik Norén, Staffan Abeleen, Jojje Wadenius and Lasse Färnlöf captured on night in August 1977 at jazz club Fasching in Stockholm. The music is best categorized as soul jazz, with post bop playing over funky grooves. Some inspired playing but the music itself isn't particularly adventurous. I've never liked the kitschy soul jazz style, and there's a bit too much Wadenius for me here.

The album features a version of the title track from Färnlöf's legendary 1969 album ”The Chameleon”.
