about

The session of this CD was recorded at the Slukefter in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens and it is an impressivbe example of how musicians of the same aesthetic persuasion can achieve excellent compatibility with hardly any preparation or rehearsal time. "It was very informal" says Hugo Rasmussen. "We never rehearsed, but Teddy would check the programme with me to see if I knew all the tunes. Just occasionally he would introduce a tune I did'nt know and I would try to follow the changes. But, is I made a mistake, he would never complain"

By this stage in his fifty-five-year career, Wilson had settled on an established programme of popular song and jazz standards which he played with great flair and fluency. Here he produces a couple of numbers from his Goodman days (recalling the descending riff at the end of the 1937 Goodman Quartet recording of Avalon), four Fats Waller favorites, five pieces of Ellingtonia, a couple of salutes of the Gershwin brothers and five other immortal standards.

Altogether a most appealing, informal session which the three musicians and the Slukefter audience clearly enjoyed.,
