{"title":"Palle Danielsson","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePalle Danielsson grew up in a musical Stockholm household, started on harmonica at two, switched to violin at eight, and had moved to double bass and was playing professionally by fifteen. He studied at Sweden's Royal Academy of Music and developed his craft at the Gyllene Cirkeln club, accompanying visiting American players through the mid-1960s, including Bill Evans in 1965. His appearance on the Jan Garbarek and Bobo Stenson Quartet's \"Witchi-Tai-To\" (ECM, 1974), alongside drummer Jon Christensen, brought him to the attention of Manfred Eicher, who in turn introduced him to Keith Jarrett. Danielsson, Garbarek, and Christensen then spent five years as Jarrett's European quartet, recording \"Belonging\" (1974), \"My Song\" (1977), and a run of further ECM albums that placed the group at the centre of the label's most celebrated period. Danielsson was constitutionally a sideman rather than a leader, and the quality of his presence across the ECM catalogue reflects that: warmly toned, melodically inventive, rhythmically unshakeable, and consistently more interested in the group sound than in drawing attention to his own playing. His name also appears on records by Charles Lloyd, Michel Petrucciani, Enrico Rava, Tomasz Stanko, Collin Walcott with Don Cherry, and Anouar Brahem. He died in Stockholm on 18 May 2024, aged 77.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jan-garbarek-keith-jarrett-palle-danielsson-jon-christensen-belonging-1974-ecm-vinyl-lp","title":"Jan Garbarek \/ Keith Jarrett \/ Palle Danielsson \/ Jon Christensen - Belonging (1974 ECM Vinyl LP)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinyl\u003c\/b\u003e: VG+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSleeve\u003c\/b\u003e: VG+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObi:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur grading system explained \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dpbg4u-d1.myshopify.com\/pages\/secondhand-grading-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ehere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto is of the actual item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJan Garbarek \/ Keith Jarrett \/ Palle Danielsson \/ Jon Christensen - \u003cem\u003eBelonging\u003c\/em\u003e | Vinyl LP - 1974 Japanese ECM\/Trio Records (PAP-9011)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeith Jarrett had been running two parallel careers since the early 1970s: an American trio and solo practice alongside an entirely different quartet with European musicians. He had first noticed Jan Garbarek while touring Europe with Charles Lloyd's group; Garbarek was in George Russell's band. Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen were the rhythm section of the Garbarek-Bobo Stenson Quartet, whose \u003cem\u003eWitchi-Tai-To\u003c\/em\u003e had been recorded five months before \u003cem\u003eBelonging\u003c\/em\u003e. Jarrett knew exactly what he was assembling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe wrote all six pieces specifically for these four musicians. The structure alternates: a fast piece, then a ballad, then a fast piece on Side A; a short ballad, then a fast piece, then a long ballad on Side B. \"Spiral Dance\" opens with Garbarek's tenor over Christensen's ride cymbal, the band at full tempo from the first bar. \"Blossom\" stretches to twelve minutes, Jarrett's piano sustaining long melodic lines while Garbarek enters on soprano saxophone with a tone closer to a folk instrument than a jazz horn. \"'Long As You Know You're Living Yours\" closes Side A with the kind of propulsive energy that rarely appeared on ECM recordings in 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Belonging,\" the title track, is the album's shortest piece at just over two minutes. It functions as a threshold between the two sides rather than a standalone composition. \"The Windup\" is the hardest-swinging piece Jarrett recorded for ECM, Danielsson's bass walking hard, Christensen driving from underneath. \"Solstice\" closes the album at thirteen minutes. Garbarek's opening soprano note is slightly off pitch, deliberately so, and the piece unfolds from that intentional tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManfred Eicher produced. Jarrett insisted on first takes throughout, and the sense of spontaneity that carries the record is not an illusion.
