I had never previously heard of Torgrim Sollid or this album, but it’s actually a real winner.
This is the first reissue of any sort, of a 1975 album of jazz and folk-influenced jazz. In a lot of ways, this reminds me a lot of a more jazzy outfit playing tunes and arrangements by The Mike Westbrook Brass Band. Definitely a keeper.
“Torgrim Sollid (born 17 June 1942) is a Norwegian self-taught traditional folk musician, composer and jazz musician (trumpet, flugelhorn, and drums), known for combining folk music with jazz, and for playing in the Jan Garbarek Quartet and Warne Marsh Sextet.
After growing up in Stor-Elvdal Sollid was drummer in "Veitvet Big Band" and "Jan Garbarek Quartet" (1962–63), prior to training in music therapy in Mo i Rana, where he also played with Guttorm Guttormsen Band. In Molde he played in Erling Aksdal Sextet, and the two then gave out the "mountain jazz" project Østerdalsmusikk...”-Wikipedia
