Creme Fraiche- Plays Compositions By Lars Togeby

Picking up on Storyville as I mentioned there's other releases on the label thats worth talking about.
I'm proud to say that my uncle Lars Togeby actually put out a record on that label, yes!
The album features his bigband Creme Fraiche consistant of mainly Danish players with all music composed by Lars Togeby, from 1978 this is modern electric jazz borderline fusion with some slight latin elements.
If this LP had been recorded by Rudy Van Gelder it would have fitted straight into the CTI catalogue, no doubt Lars Togeby was inspired by the early 70's US bigband sound themes and complex arrangements.
I do have a favourite cut off the album, Thats All has a almost spooky soundtrack like groove with Mads Vinding laying down the foundation, a looping bassline with the brass section remenisent of those classic CTI records, the track has some nice Rhodes breaks with spacey reverb and the following piano solo progresses into a somewhat Herbie Hancock flavored vibe, not bad at all.
I heard Creme Fraiche preform this track at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival acouple of years ago and it was pure fire!!
In the late 70's Lars Togeby was negotiating to sign with Stan Kenton's Creative World for a US release of Creme Fraiche, unfortunately Kenton passed away before the deal was closed and the album has remained a DK only gem.
