Jazzing at Fashing

So, for the first time I did a show with wonderful big band jazz musicians, Håkan Broströms New Places Orchestra, at this little club in Stockholm called Fashing. It´s one of the oldest and highly respected jazz clubs in town. Accompanied by one of the worlds greatest guitar player Ulf Wakenius (member of Oscar Peterson Quartet) and my old friend Jennifer Brown. We had a blast..... This is a slightly new twist for me, still I did the Mellow album with a touch of Bossa Nova and Jazz, but this was something totally different. I had such a great time. Wish you could have been there with me. I got arrangements for Beautiful Girl and How Crazy are you, songs I have not been singing in many many years, along with the beautiful Carol King cover "Natural Woman". I will perform at the Stockholm Jazz Festival this year aswell, with the same wonderful Band, on June 10th. Bringing in a bit of Jazz in my life can only be a good thing. I realize there is something I have lost along the way. Most people know me as a pure pop singer, but, when I started my career I sang in various constellations of bands singing only soul and jazz/blues tunes. Always doing a " Georiga on my Mind" or a " God Bless the Child" when I didn´t get into the Little Milton groove or singing Signed Sealed Delivered by the god himself, Stevie Wonder. So...if feels like i´m on to something, or rather, returning to something I have missed. Singing the jazz....blues....soul...from another place in my heart. This is the magic with music. It brings me to explore new sides of myself constantly. For this I am forever thankful.
