Energetic, blues-drenched soul is a poetic description of master vibist Milt Jackson’s style. His influence is one of the major forces of jazz, and for vibists he is synonymous with the instrument. To make an album dedicated to Milt Jackson has been a lifelong dream, and what better way to honor him, then by recording live at the intimate jazz club Glenn Miller Café. Located in the heart of Stockholm, this hole-inthe-wall club provided an ideal venue, where the communication between audience and musicians is intense, relaxed and joyful. The band all proved to be hardcore Milt Jackson fans and each contributed with recordings, songs and just some really great playing. Together we welcome you to a night of live jazz, complete with an enthusiastic and talkative audience, a piano slightly out of tune and a few squeaks from the frontdoor every time somebody entered.
