Danish 1940's and 1950's Svend Asmussen Quintet (Danish 'kvintet' = English 'quintet'). The original line-up was shortly reunited in the late 1960's with minor line-up variations. Notice: The diverse Svend Asmussen quintet names also include names like "Svend Asmussen And His Quintet", for example. Such "quintets" may be both five piece line-ups (quintet) and six piece line-ups (Svend Asmussen + quintet). Similarly, a 'Svend Asmussen And His Quartet" may appear to be a five piece line-up, a quintet, with exactly the same line-up as a simultaneous quintet. But this entry is only for artist names that include Kvintet or Quintet (or other language variations) - with the exception of Svend Asmussens Drömkvintett ("Dream" Quintet) which has a separate entry.
