EGBA ~ Sweden

EGBA (1974)

EGBA were a Swedish jazz / rock group with emphasis on the former. Nice flute, electric / acoustic piano, and jazz-tone guitar - all within the confines of tightly arranged compositions. Some African influences foreshadow what Archimedes Badkar would eventually come to on Tre. Longest track contains a funk rave-up with fiery solos from sax, guitar, and electric piano. This copy includes a live cut with a distinctly Latin jazz vibe with quite a bit of solo percussion. 

Recently learned that EGBA is an acronym meaning Electronic Groove & Beat Academy.

No reissues as of 3/12/25.
