Andreas Öberg, Guitar; Jimmy Rosenberg, Guitar; Martin Sjöstedt, Bass.
This album is a rarity – a souvenir from Jimmy’s tour in Sweden in December 2002, when things went wrong. Andreas Öberg was the new guitar talent that year, and had invited Jimmy for some gigs in Sweden, before we had scheduled a studio recording in Norway the subsequent week (the amazing Django’s Tiger album). It was arranged for a live recording with Jimmy and Andreas in order to promote their future tours, like Hot Club de Norvège had done in Norway for ten years already. The expectations were mile high, but it turned out that Jimmy, once again, was on a space trip of his own. Rhythm guitar player Per Frydenlund was on his way to Max Brandt’s Café at Torshälla, when he got a phone call that the concert was cancelled, Jimmy was simply too far out. However, Jimmy insisted upon playing, and this is how it sounded – Jimmy on a bad day. Nevertheless, there are glimpses of greatness in this album, and guitar players will no doubt find new Jimmy licks, not to mention an impressive snapshot of the marvellous Andreas Öberg as a young man, on his way to the stars, but not there quite yet. One and a half years later Jimmy collapsed on stage, and without him the guitar World will never be the same again. So forget all the imperfections in this rare recording, and think for a moment about how fragile the existence in fact is, and how lucky we are that sometimes a great artist like Jimmy Rosenberg is born, and amaze us – for a while – with visions from places beyond our everyday life. ~Jon Larsen
