Veteran tenor saxophonist
Brew Moore, who died in 1973, spent most of his last dozen years living in Scandinavia. His last recordings resulted in two LPs (the other was released by Storyville) made during the same night. Teamed with pianist
Lars Sjosten, bassist
Sture Nordin and drummer
Fredrik Noren,
Moore is in fine form on "Old Folks,"
Tony Fruscella's "Baite," a pair of
Sjosten's originals and his own "Brew's Stockholm Dew's."
Moore stayed true to his roots in
Lester Young-style swing up until the end.
