"I have experienced many marvellous jazz studio recordings, but this, facing a live audience, is where jazz functions and becomes that esoteric glue that bonds people, regardless of nationality or race."
THOUGHTS DURING A RECORDING SESSION
It's the second night of a live recording at the Pawnshop jazzclub on Dec. 7th, 1976. Tonight the Arne Domnérus quartet is augmented by Lars Erstrand on vibes. I am on the stage, setting up, compiling the references of the previous night. The new stereo trackbar for the pianomikes proved to be excellent for wide angling, besides being easy to attach to a regular stand. Thus making more space available for Lars' vibes on the minute stage. He arrived earlier than the others to have plenty of time to set up his instrument. We fall into each others arms, repeating the old phrase about seeing each other far too seldom, and not enough recordings being done with vibes these days. Naturally we remind each other of the first hit record of 'Happy Jazz' and Ove Lind, which we made here ten years earlier. As I'm hugging him it strikes me what an incredible and stimulating joy it is to have come to know all these professional first-rate musicians this little land of Sweden is endowed with. At the same time I feel that nauseating indignation at how miserably these musical masters are treated in our modern ether media. Sure, I have experienced many marvellous jazz studio recordings, but this, facing a live audience, is where jazz functions and becomes that esoteric glue that bonds people, regardless of nationality or race.
If I remember correctly, it was this very evening that I decided from then on, to devote myself to live recordings. I felt I had had enough of studio technology and its galloping multi-sound, with more microphones than instruments, divided on tenfold tracks on the taperecorder. Why this development? Or is it perhaps that this benighted culture has depleted music of its most skilful artisans and later replaced them with like-minded dilletants, who, in an attempt to ape their predecessors, had to resort to all kinds of electronic magnification to enhance themselves. I have faith this will cleanse itself since there are no short-cuts to art, and you cannot deprive the audience of quality for ever. While I've been musing, Lars has set up the vibes and hits off some chords. I have always been fascinated by this strangely harmonious chiming instrument and I still recall my consternation when seeing it for the first time. I had believed it must consist of some glass-like stuff containing water, 'cause that is what it sounded like. Even today I associate the sound with the singing ice on the lake, a frosty, snowless, early winternight, bathing in moonlight. Or with that peculiar song in the telegraph poles along the road at the same time of year. On our way home from school we stood by a pole each, pressing our ears against it and sang the current hit-repertoire! In fact those were my very first voice-overs... Lars had to shout three times before I'd let go of my pole to go up to him. "Have you got any oil? One of the vibe fans is squeaking!” I find some cornoil in the small kitchen space, turned control booth, and hurry back. I wish them luck in the smoke now that the gang was assembled and ready to play, make my way back through the crowd into the kitchen, where my long-legged friend, the producer, supervising the session perched on a top of a counter, where I 3 wedge myself down between the fridge and a stack of beer cases, pinch a beer and start the tape rolling. If you play this record you'll hear what happened next. (Gert Palmcrantz)
