Review

The career of Thorgeir Stubø was unfortunately all too short, and his last album The End Of A Tune was released after his death in 1986. Unlike its predecessor, a hard swinging album dominated by up-tempo and a harder beat, The End of a Tune is a more subdued and slower record. The album consists of slightly different lineup, with Jesper Lungaard (bass) and Ole Jacob Hansen (drums) as backing, and Ivar Antonsen playing the piano, while Doug Raney played guitar on some tracks. In addition, the American jazz star Art Farmer played flugelhorn on some tunes, among them the title track. The result was very successful, and "The End of a Tune" was certainly a worthy conclusion of a notable jazz career.[2]

Reception

The review by Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars.[1]
