Freddy Lindquist-Menu (1970)

Despite not being widely known outside of Norway, Freddy Lindquist was considered one of the best Norwegian guitarists, a position he shares with another great compatriot, Terje Rypdal. Born in Oslo in 1946, his passion for music began in childhood, fostered by his parents, both musicians. After playing in numerous local bands, he released his only solo album, "Menu", in 1970. Following this release, the guitarist began working as a session musician and producer. On this album, Lindquist also plays bass, flute, and percussion, in addition to guitar. Accompanied by various Norwegian musicians, the repertoire ranges from the avant-garde sounds of the era, such as "Sellers Sundae", to the progressive rock of "The Green and Pink Little Man", smooth instrumental pieces like "Sharako", and the jazz and blues of "Join In and Freak Out".
