Tonbruket: Light wood Dark strings 2023 [Digipack / CD]

The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."

Lindström Johan: & Norrbotten Big Band 2023 [Digipack / CD]

Lina Nybergs debutalbum "Close" kom för 30 år sedan, ett jubileum hon firar med en storbandsplatta med Bohuslän Big Band. Albumet består av en egenkomponerad svit i sju delar, inspirerad av gamla tiders Broadwaymusikaler och komponister som Cole Porter och George Gershwin.

Violinisten Nils Økland och keyboardisten Sigbjørn Apeland har kamperat ihop i 30 år, i ett ständigt utforskande av traditionell norsk musik i kombination med improvisation. På nya albumet "Glimmer" har de snappat upp traditionella sånger från Haugaland och satt ihop dem med egna kompositioner.
