" I'm absolutely delighted with this album.
When I listened to it again after such a long lapse of time, I said, 'Hey, is that me?
I'm playing like a monster!
I think it is one of the best records I ever made." - Tony Scott

Rune Ofwerman recalls:

"Tony had come to Stockholm to appear at the Nalen and I was lucky enough to be invited to play with him.

We didn't know each other, but he knew I had played with Lucky Thompson, Stan Getz and Don Byas.

On the second week of the engagement, he told me that RCA had asked him to do a record date and asked if I would like to be on the session. I was delighted - and a little bit astonished, because there were players like Bengt Halberg and Jan Johansson available."

..."Tony really made me play - he opened my ears. I had different approach to the piano after working with him. And because of this session, I got a recording contract from RCA and made my first album for them, Gavern, in December 1957" (From CD liner notes)
