Underwear is the debut album by Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson recorded in two days in May 1971 and released by ECM later that year.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Jim Todd states: "This LP from ECM's early days finds Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson leading bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Jon Christensen in a program of uncompromising, collectively improvised post-bop... Although structured as a piano trio, this set's main attraction is the opportunity to hear, up close, the enormous talents of Christensen and Andersen. That, in turn, though, says something about the egalitarian spirit of Stenson."[2]
