Joan Chamorro plays Fredrik Carlquist's arrangements

This work is the third volume of a collection dedicated to the role of the arranger, in this case the Swedish saxophonist and clarinettist Fredrik Carlquist, who has lived in Catalonia for several years and with whom I have had the pleasure of recording on several of his CDs.

This album is also a tribute to the Swedish musician Lars Gullin, one of my favourite baritone saxophonists who has influenced my playing, as have Serge Chaloff, Scott Robinson, Pepper Adams, Gerry Mulligan, Cecil Payne and a long list of great jazz musicians who dedicated their lives to this beautiful instrument.

Thanks to all the musicians involved, especially to Fredrik Carlquist for his music, arrangements and friendship and to Lars Gullin for being the inspiration for this CD.
