Details:
"Emphasis On Jazz" was the name of the group Swedish saxophone player Urban Hansson formed together with piano player Berndt Egerbladh in 1976.
The group´s first LP (simply called "Emphasis On Jazz") was released in 1977. It was the object of considerable international critical acclaim and was released in Japan under the title of "Sengakuji", which was an allusion to a famous Tokyo temple. During the summer in 1980 the group´s second LP "Tabaruzaka" was released. It was a reaffirmation of the group´s interest in Japanese music and culture: an adaption of Japanese folksongs.
1984, Emphasis on Jazz wanted to make its European features stand out on the group´s third LP "A Joy That´s Shared".
