SKROTBANDET – Övervintring (Nacksving, 1979)

 
Instrumental
International relevance: **

Skrotbandet's first entry to this blog was with their second album ”Afrocarib” which is quite different to this one, their first. While their infatuation with Latin and Caribbean rhythms is on display already here, this is more of a semi-fusion jazz effort with more groove than what your average in vitro fertilized jazz fusion album usually musters up. Maybe because ”Övervintring” is recorded live without having the spontaniety scrubbed off in the studio. It's still a bit too far into trapeze artist jazz for me (I particularily find the guitar solos pretty annoying), but it must be said that the music nevertheless cooks with a fair bit of enthusiasm and joy of playing. And it's better than "Afrocarib".
