Tomas Örnberg – A Selection From Tomas Örnberg’s Blue Five & The Swedish Jazz Kings (SACD hibrid multicanal)

The history of Opus 3 is inextricably linked to the rise of Swedish clarinetist and saxophonist Tomas Örnberg. Örnberg is now considered one of the world’s most talented and experienced musicians in the field of traditional jazz. Whether as a leader or sideman, Örnberg has not only preserved the genre, but also been able to give it new impetus in a unique way. In the course of his unprecedented career, he has accompanied almost all living legends or invited them to participate in his own projects as guests. As a leader, he has relied from the outset on the production expertise of Jan-Eric Persson, with whom he still enjoys a close friendship today. The fruits of this collaboration, which has now lasted several decades, have been reflected in a large number of albums with the Blue Five as well as with The Swedish Jazz Kings. Some of these albums have been out of print for many years, so Jan-Eric Persson asked Örnberg to compile his personal highlights from the Opus 3 catalog. “A Selection From Tomas Örnberg’s Blue Five & The Swedish Jazz Kings” naturally features Tomas Örnberg’s companions: Kenny Davern, Roy Williams and Bob Barnard, who, together with Bent Persson, the only continuous band member and Örnberg’s congenial partner, pay tribute to the Chicago jazz era of the 1920s and 1930s.

The outstanding Multichannel Hybrid SACD from Opus 3 Records includes a booklet with detailed information on the recording technology and microphones used, as well as liner notes by Tomas Örnberg about his band projects and his collaboration with Jan-Eric Persson.

MUSIKER: Tomas Örnberg: clarinets, saxophones / Bent Persson: cornet, trumpet, drums / Kenny Davern: clarinet / Roy Williams: trombone / Bob Barnard: cornet, trumpet / and many more…

Opus 3 is an independent Swedish music label dedicated to recording timeless acoustic music such as jazz, blues, folk and classical. Founded in late 1976 by sound engineer Jan-Eric Persson, the label has made it its mission to reproduce voices and instruments as naturally as possible. To achieve this, Opus 3 selects recording environments with good natural. The label’s recording techniques were developed specifically for acoustic music and were originally based on the use of tube gear and “Blumlein” miking. In 2001, Opus 3 switched to digital eight-track technology and later to 16 channels – in the brand-new mixing and mastering studio designed and set up by Sweden’s leading acoustic engineer Lennart Nilsson to mark the label’s 30th anniversary. Apart from a few digital intermediate steps all processing is still done exclusively analog.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
