IN THE COUNTRY | SOLVEIG SLETTAHJELL | BUGGE WESSELTOF | KNUT REIERSRUD — Norwegian Woods (2014) Serie : Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic — II | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

It was another one of those evenings of magical moments that the "Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic" series curated by Siggi Loch is so sure to generate.
