Review This is the fourth album by Thorgeir Stubø, released in 1985, and is a mixture of studio and live recordings from a concert in Tromsø, and consists of a variety of lineups.

Fred Lacey's gorgeous ballad "Theme for Ernie" as made famous by Coltrane, also interpreted the great trio with acoustic guitars, ...
