Description
It was certainly a magical night at the Pawnshop (Stampen) in March, 1976 when a young lady of 81 completely captured and entranced the audience with her stage presence and vibrant personality. Her communication with the musicians and audience combined to elevate her artistry beyond the aural level to include that indefinable ingredient.. atmosphere. This atmosphere was retrieved from our vaults from 31 years ago and like a good wine has aged well as lovers of jazz from the twenties will appreciate.
Eva Taylor is a direct link with the great era of jazz when she was singing with the Clarence Williams Blue Five and also with Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet who were coming to their peak as influential jazz geniuses in the mid twenties.
The band which perfectly complements her artistry is Maggies Blue Five and includes Tomas Örnberg on clarinet & soprano saxophone and Bent Persson, trumpet from Tomas Örnbergs Blue Five and later on, The Swedish Jazz Kings.
Also in the band are Andreas Heymowski clarinet and bass clarinet, Jens Jesse Lindgren trombone, Hans Hultman-Boye piano, Göran Stachewsky banjo, Lennart Bohm bass and Margaretha Thalén vocals.
