In the summer of 1970, pianist Frans Elsen spent his holiday in Norway. Inspired by the desolate environment and the small towns, he wrote and arranged a 'Norwegian cycle' which he performed in a star setting with his brand new septet: altoist Piet Noordijk, trumpeter Eddie Engels, guitarist Wim Overgaauw and drummer Eric Ineke are part of this unique band that was very innovative and progressive in terms of sound and concept. It never came out of a full album at the time. More than fifty years later, two brilliant studio sessions have been found, recorded for the European Broadcasting Union and Radio Nederland Wereldomroep. The septet can also be heard live on this album during the International Jazz Festival Loosdrecht (1972) and in the original line-up as a sextet in the PePijn theater in The Hague.
