2019

Some miracles get broken up into small bits, leaving fate, circumstance and the right people at the right time to reconstruct them. That John Coltrane played with Thelonious Monk in 1957 remains one of those astounding miracles. The album contains three unforgettable tracks featuring Monk and Coltrane grooving away beautifully. "Ruby, My Dear" contains a mellow, lush feel suitable for sitting back, "Trinkle, Tinkle," a definitely interesting Monk-ish title, showcases Coltrane's insane chops and "Nutty," one of Monk's most beguilingly catchy tunes. Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane melded together inexplicably and created some of the most amazing tracks ever laid down in the name of jazz. The album contains 2 Bonus tracks.<br/><br/>HIGH QUALITY

Sveriges personligaste jazzröst, Isabella Lundgren, släpper en hyllningsplatta till Bob Dylan. Innerliga och jazziga tolkningar av några av Dylans mest älskade låtar, som "The Times are a changing" och "It ain't me babe". Fullkomligt magiskt!<br/><br/>Dan Backman ger den högt betyg (5 av 6) i Svenska Dagbladet: "Musiken tar många oväntade vändningar och lämnar stundtals Dylan långt bakom sig. Men på något outgrundligt sätt balanseras den dåtida Dylan med den samtida jazzen så att harmoni uppnås." (Dan Backman, SvD)<br/><br/>"Lundgrens take på Bob Dylans 'Blowin' in the wind' är emblematisk för hennes spännvidd som artist, från det nära, sköra i den ensamma rösten till det råa svänget i polyfon samklang och Södran älskar henne från första utandning." (Magnus Östnäs, Lira, om releasekonserten på Södra Teatern)

Sångerskas Leyla's tredje egna skiva är så cool, så retro, så på "en traditionel bar på Bourbon Street i New Orleans". Som det ska låta, som det lät förr, men låtar som känns moderna trots soundet. Något utöver det vanliga detta.

Gerry Mulligan and Stan Getz are far and away two of the greatest legends of jazz. This album is like two sax shaped butterflies, one baritone, one tenor darting around one another. Together Mulligan and Getz make the most sublime combinations and riff off each other with a musical choreography that is dazzling. They also improvise simultaneously with great results. They even swap horns for several songs....Getz playing baritone and Mulligan playing tenor with Lou Levy on Piano, Ray Brown on bass and the great Stan Levey is on drums. The album contain two bonus tracks: Charlie Parker's "Scrapple From The Apple (8:09)" and Lorenz Hart & Richard Rogers' "I Didn't Know What Time it Was (8:59)."
