Rigmor Gustafsson - "Rigmor på Svenska"

Monica Zetterlunds arvtager? Rigmor synger, så verden står stille for en stund

Selvom der ikke er tale om en tribute-plade til Jan Johanson og hans mesterværk "Jazz på Svenska", er det tydeligt at se, hvor Rigmor har hentet sin inspiration.

Hendes englestemme giver mindelser om det summende, svenske sommerlandskab, med brusende bække, solmodne skovbær, endeløse dale og skove.

Efter en lang og succesfuld karriere, der til dels tog fart i New York, er Rigmor Gustafsson nu anset som en af ​​Europas mest værdsatte jazzsangere.

Hendes nye album, der udkom 11. april "Rigmor på Svenska", er et af hendes mest spontane og personlige projekter til dato. Og også hendes første album på svensk, hvilket længe har været en drøm for hende.

Med dette nye album byder hun på fortolkninger af sine svenske yndlingssange, jazzstandarder samt originale kompositioner.

Rigmor Gustafsson er kendt for sin vidtspændende og alsidige stemme samt rolige gemyt. Hun har haft utallige samarbejder med pladeselvskabet ACT samt store kunstnere som Nils Landgren og Jacky Terrasson, for at nævne nogle enkelte.

Med sig på Montmartre har hun de tre svenske top musikere: Jonas Östholm på klaver, Martin Höper på bas og Chris Montgomery på trommer. Tre garvede herrer, der som få kan akkompagnere en stemme som Rigmors.

ENGLISH:

Although this is not a tribute album to Jan Johanson and his masterpiece "Jazz på Svenska", it is clear where Rigmor has drawn her inspiration.

Her angelic voice brings to mind the humming, Swedish summer landscape, with rushing streams, sun-ripened wild berries, endless valleys and forests.

After a long and successful career, which partly took off in New York, Rigmor Gustafsson is now considered one of Europe's most appreciated jazz singers.

Her new album, released on April 11th, "Rigmor på Svenska", is one of her most spontaneous and personal projects to date. And also her first album in Swedish, which has long been a dream of hers.

With this new album, she offers interpretations of her favorite Swedish songs, jazz standards and original compositions.

Rigmor Gustafsson is known for her wide-ranging and versatile voice and calm disposition. She has had countless collaborations with the record company ACT as well as great artists like Nils Landgren and Jacky Terrasson, to name a few.

With her at Montmartre she has the three top Swedish musicians: Jonas Östholm on piano, Martin Höper on bass and Chris Montgomery on drums. Three seasoned gentlemen who can accompany a voice like Rigmor's like few others
