Recorded live in Sweden in September 1961, the Uppsala Concert is an important document from Dolphy's first Swedish tour as leader of an obscure but talented local quartet featuring Rony Johansson (piano), Kurt Lindgren (bass), and Rune Carlsson (drums). Master Dolphy shines, as always, on all his instruments alto sax, bass clarinet, and flute, while the track list consists of a rare mix of standards such as Milt Jackson's "Bags Groove," Monk's "52nd Street Theme," Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?" and the famous unaccompanied alto sax version of "Laura," all this plus a 20-minutes-long version of Dolphy's blues "245" where every single note played by Dolphy sounds as pure gold.
