Soffgruppen - Greatest Sits, 1975

 










A classic fusion record for sure, one-off only unfortunately.  From discogs:

Swedish avant-garde and experimental jazz band from Gothenburg.

They consisted of:

Matz Nilsson on electric bass and double bass

Anders Kjellberg on drums, percussion and bells

Pierre Swärd on piano, hammond organ and cowbell

Claes Yngström on guitar

Stephen Frankevich on the trumpet

The usual high energy instrumentals with electric instruments, some meandering free jazz passages unfort., the gorgeous electric piano with vibrato sound we miss so much, etc. Most of the music I see was written by bassist Nilsson, who also played in Hawk On Flight another brilliant fusion band, the more free jazz oriented (and boring) Mount Everest, plus with Janne Schaffer, etc.

His composition called Jag Tanker:



Brilliant stuff, wish there was more...
