"Mal Waldron's piano, exotic ensemble and sweltering pets. This is the definitive melancholy jazz album! Long-awaited reissue at mid-price of this masterpiece from the peak of Balkan treasure Dusko Goykovich's career! This is an unquestionably treasured album full of great songs and performances, including Nicolas Conte's cover of 1 and 9 from "Tatsuo Sunaga's Night Jazz", and it has been restored in its original German Philips jacket!
It is no exaggeration to say that "Swingin' Macedonia" is the album that captures the origin of Goykovich. The album was originally released by Philips in Germany, but was later reissued in the UK, Yugoslavia, New Zealand and other countries, each time with a new jacket. Because of this, it is known as a highly sought-after item among jazz collectors." - Makoto Goto
