Scandinavian 3 – Caravan: For Kenny Drew (Vinil 180g, LP dublu)

Jan Lundgren (piano), Hans Backenroth (bass), and Kristian Leth (drums) form a renowned Scandinavian jazz rhythm section. They regularly perform as the backing trio for American tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton and have played together at the legendary Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen. “Caravan: For Kenny Drew” is a tribute to the American jazz pianist, who died in 1993 and was known for his bebop style and his contributions to both the New York scene and European jazz. Influenced by Bud Powell, Kenny Drew developed a distinctive style that combined technical precision with emotional depth.

“Caravan: For Kenny Drew” was recorded on February 4 and 5, 2026, at RMV Studio in Stockholm, Sweden, and mixed and mastered by legendary sound engineer Tetsuo Hara.

Venus Records was founded in Japan in 1992 by Tetsuo Hara, who had previously worked as a producer for RCA Victor. The renowned label uses a special mastering process called “Hyper Magnum Sound,” which produces a powerful, dynamic sound and is highly regarded by audiophiles worldwide. A quick note: Venus LPs are pressed only once. Once the run is sold out, the title is removed from the catalog and will not be reissued. Collectors should therefore not wait too long to place their orders: the releases from the “Venus Masterpiece Collection” are extremely popular!

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
