Randi Hultin, an accomplished jazz musician and world-famous journalist on the subject of jazz, opened her home — Gartnerveien — to countless jazz musicians from all over the world. Her hospitality allowed jazz musicians to not only stay during their tours of Scandinavia but also participate in jam sessions. These informal jam sessions, which are featured on the enclosed CD, show the human side of famous musicians as they relaxed with their families, laughed, composed, and jammed. In never-before-seen photos, the book captures off-duty moments of some of the greatest musicians of our time: Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, and many more.
