Art Van Damme With Strings from 1973 represents something special in MPS’s Van Damme catalogue: his first recording with strings. The unique front line combination of accordion, guitar and vibes is still very evident, augmented by bassist Eberhard Weber and guitarist Siggi Schwab who add a new sound to this edition of the quintet. The song choices are also something special, with a discerning mixture of standards, ballads, sambas and bossas plus a soul-jazz classic.
