Among baritone sax players, Gunnar Bergsten occupies what could called a middle ground -- he's neither as muscular as Pepper Adams or Cecil Payne, nor as light and subtle as Gerry Mulligan. Favoring comfortable tempos, the Swedish hard bopper/post-bopper shows how delightfully lyrical he can be on Somewhere, a strong quartet date uniting him with pianist Peter Nordahl, bassist Patrik Boman and drummer Leif Wennerstrom. Bergsten is relaxed and introspective throughout the album, and this approach serves the soulful improviser well on everything from John Coltrane's "Naima" and the Gene Ammons hit "Ca'Purange" to songs by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein. Historically, many jazz players have shied away from Sondheim's challenging pieces, but Bergsten successfully tackles "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Everyday a Little Death" with very personal and moving results. When this CD was recorded in Stockholm in early 1998, the baritonist had been highly regarded in Scandinavian jazz circles but remained unknown to most jazz enthusiasts in the U.S. Somewhere's overall excellence indicated that he was someone Americans should get to know.
