Where it came from
Released in 1955 by His Master's Voice, this recording features the Swedish jazz pianist Reinhold Svensson performing on a 'spikpiano'—a prepared piano equipped with metal pins to produce a distinct, percussive, honky-tonk aesthetic. This experimental approach to instrumentation was part of a broader mid-century interest in reviving novelty sounds and ragtime textures, often utilized by jazz musicians to add a comedic or antique flair to their arrangements.
Reinhold Svensson was a highly respected figure in the Swedish jazz scene, known for his versatility and technical facility. This specific release (7-EGS-12) serves as a testament to his ability to adapt his sophisticated playing style to the rhythmic quirks of the spikpiano. While novelty records of this era were sometimes dismissed as light entertainment, Svensson's performance is widely noted by collectors for maintaining a high level of musical integrity despite the idiosyncratic nature of the instrument.
