Jazz
My Only Desire's latest release is something rather special indeed: the never-before-released-in-full recording of the first, now mythical performance of his cult 1970s jazz masterpiece Citadel/Room 315'. The album was originally commissioned by, and for, a Swedish radio station, with the composer and pianist travelling to Scandinavia in order to record it with a 16-piece big band that included many of Sweden's greatest jazz players. It's that recording that is featured here for the first time (the finished album was reworked, overdubbed and polished up) and it's little less than remarkable - an inspiring ensemble suite that touches on various jazz styles and includes a wealth of fine, loose-limbed solos that never made the original album release. If you love jazz, you need this in your life.
