Norwegian spiritual jazz gem from Jan Simonsen Quintet due in March

Jazzagression is putting out an unreleased 70s set by the Jan Simonsen Quintet – feat. members of That's Why, En Tiempo & Ruphus –  on March 2. 

Here's the scoop...
Jan Simonsen Quintet was an active mid-seventies, norwegian jazz group, drawing up influences from Herbie Hancock to McCoy Tyner the group's very rhythmical approach fell positive with the crowd and landed them regular gigs at the famous Club7 venue in Oslo, the group also performed at Molde Jazz 1976. In Winter that same year the group recorded these four tracks to reel using Asker Church for maximum reverb effect and broaden the acoustics. Jazzaggression is pleased to present these 4 tracks on vinyl for the first time, with one bonus track (digital). Vinyl comes in a special heavy paste-on sleeve with printed inner sleeve containing full story and photos. Limited to 500 copies – out March 2. Pre-order it right here. Listen to clips below.
