The first album under his own name, released in 1976 by veteran pianist Roy Hellvin, born in Oslo, Norway, who has been active since the 1960s. After various collaborations, participating in "Erik Andresen - Gip" and some jazz festivals, working as an arranger handling a variety of genres, this was recorded in a trio with Terje Venaas and Ole Jacob Hansen. Total six tracks are seamless with elegant piano with a modern swing atmosphere and tight playing by the two. On the B-side, which exude elegance while manipulating stillness and movement, are particularly moving. It's also known as the jewel of Nordic piano trios. Beautiful original copy.
60年代より活動するノルウェー・オスロ生まれのベテランピアニストRoy Hellvinが76年に発表した自己名義初作となる作品。様々な共演, "Erik Andresen - Gip"への参加、多様なジャンルをこなすアレンジャーでの活動、ジャズフェスティバル等を経てTerje VenaasとOle Jacob Hansenのトリオ編成にて録音されたもの。モダンスイングな雰囲気の優雅なピアノに2人のタイトな演奏が一体となった隙を与えない全6曲。気品を放ちながら静と動を操るように聴かせるB面の楽曲・構成は特に感動もの。北欧ピアノトリオの宝石とも称される一枚。稀少なオリジナル盤にて入荷しました。
