Late Swedish jazz saxophonist and clarinetist Arne Domnérus, the man behind the audiophile classic "Jazz at the Pawnshop", leads his sextet on this 1982 session featuring music of Georg Riedel. The musicians are joined by the Immanuelskyrkans Kör choir directed by Ingemar Braennström on this recording, originally released by Swedish audiophile label Proprius.

"Jazz At The Pawnshop", recorded in 1976, has been regarded as "The Best Jazz Recording of the Century" and is known as one of the most famous audiophile records in music. These sessions recorded at club Stampen (Pawnshop) in Stockholm on December 6-7, 1976, by Gert Palmcrantz, have an extaordinary presence and a genuine live feeling.

This album embodies Volume 2 of the great event which was recorded in December 1976 over two nights at the intimate Pawnshop jazz club in Stockholm and considered one of the most famous audiophile recording in music. Both the musicianship and the engineering came together in a magical symbiosis captured on this enduring classic. Recording engineer Gert Palmcrantz used one pair of microphones spaced eight inches apart for the main pick-up, with a couple of microphones placed to register the “live” atmosphere and a few discrete support mikes, all recorded on a pair of two-track Nagra tape recorders in the restaurant kitchen!
