Good jazz players, like good wine, age well. Venerable Swedish jazz clarinet player, Putte Wickman, was in his early 70s when he performed at the Swedish Jazz Festival in 1993 and 1994. His playing was vigorous, energetic, and as compelling as it was when he started playing professionally in 1948 - and his virtuosity more pronounced. At the 1993 festival, Wickman is joined by Roger Kellaway, and they apply their considerable technique and artistry to four standards and to a tune written by their friend Red Mitchell, with whom they both have performed.
