Caprice presents the luxurious double vinyl re- of Jazz Furniture's classic debut album from 1994. Jazz Furniture was the name of a jazz group that spoke for themselves.

Jazz Furniture included Magnus Broo, trumpet; Per InchTexasInch Johansson and Fredrik Ljungkvist, saxophones; Esbjörn Svensson, piano; Dan Berglund bass; and Magnus Öström drums.
