Författaren och producenten John Corbett, om albumet:<br/>"Lars-Göran Ulander är en dold skatt inom den kreativa musiken i Sverige. Han driver ständigt på och utvecklar sin egen postbop-stil tillsammans med ett imponerande sällskap av kollegor från 60- och 70-talet. Ulanders porträttalbum kommer att slå dig med häpnad."<br/><br/>"Det är på ren svenska jävligt bra /.../ årets skiva" (Thomas Millroth, OJ)<br/><br/> "Fantastisk musik rakt igenom, inte minst inspelningarna under Per-Henrik Wallins namn, där Lars-Göran Ulanders fenomenala saxofonspel visar att brutalitet och skönhet kan gå hand i hand." (Peter Bornemar)

GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter, and pianist Norah Jones' ninth solo studio album Visions is a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels that is introduced today with the official video for the album's lead single "Running." The song was co-written by Jones and Michels and features Norah on vocals, piano, guitar, and bass with Leon on drums and baritone saxophone.<br/> <br/>Visions is a vibrant and joyous 12-song set that finds Jones singing about feeling free, wanting to dance, making it right, and acceptance of what life brings. It's the yang to the yin that was Pick Me Up Off The Floor, Jones' last album of new original songs which was released early in the pandemic lockdown of 2020 and foreshadowed many of the dark emotions of that period.

MONICA Z AT ATLANTIS AND POLAR STUDIOS<br/><br/>In our Swedish catalogue, we have a couple of albums with highly acclaimed Swedish jazz singer/actress Monica Zetterlund.<br/><br/>Monica started her career 1958 och worked during the year with jazz giants like Bill Evans, Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Toots Thielemans and others. Miles Davis was very fond of her. She had an amazing career, not only as a singer but also as an actress. One of Sweden's most beloved artists ever. She was signed to BMG in 1989 and during the years we released 6 albums. The first three albums were a huge success and it was an fantastic comeback for her. Monica also had many fans outside Sweden but tragically passed away 2005.<br/><br/>In the early 90's, BMG recorded some of her "Swedish" songs in English and the plan was to release an album internationally. Songs that did appear with Swedish lyrics on three of her bestselling albums from the 90's.The release didn't happened and the tapes were put away and forgotten. I've tried to find out why the release didn't happen but haven't got any good answer. <br/>A couple a years ago the tapes were found and Swedish media got notice about these recordings and fans have reached out to us to have them released.<br/><br/>So, we have together with the producer put together an album of these 9 recordings. And it sounds really great.
