The Swedish jazz singer Ida Sand comes from a musical family, her father was a famous opera singer, her mother made sacred music. Ida himself learned cello, before she began training as a singer. Meanwhile, the Swedish part of the leading group of Scandinavian jazz vocalists that have been discovered by the famous producer and trombonist Nils Landgren.

The Pensive, Moody is in the dark timbre of Ida Sands voice, already with their debut album, "Meet Me Around Midnight" was provided by the Swedish 2007 enthusiasm, because they stood out from the girly pop-jazz their Scandinavian colleagues Silje Nergaard or Rigmor Gustafsson. With gospel and soul she sat from the beginning to the black tradition of Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin, and on the other hand saw everything else as pale. Why born in 1977 as Ida Kristina sand Lund in Stockholm singer and pianist has now picked just the repertoire of Neil Young for their fourth album, she explains: "His music had something to tell me, I have heard a lot from him in recent years. It must have something to do with the mood of the songs that I also saw in me, but which you do not normally hear in my music. So I took his lyrics and his music before, and tried to take over this mood and still interpret the songs in my own way. I do not know if there are so many Neil Young fans among jazz-lovers - and as part of the plan was to bring the jazz listeners the music of Neil Young closer ". ~ Ida Sand 

The weather is supposed to be in Canada similar to "humble" as in Sweden, which could explain the melancholy which is sometimes the case with both cultures. The plan to take the spiritual minimalist songs of Neil Young as a template for an acoustic jazz album, but is bold. Neil Young's indestructible classics like "Cinnamon Girl" or "Harvest Moon" learn one way or another harmony in addition, chords and melodies to be reorganized by the double bass, keyboard, piano and drums and take the originals of the Canadian folk and rock singer / songwriter yet none of its melancholy magic.

"Young at Heart" - the title of the album is a love letter in a double pun and a celebration of melancholy. A melancholy in the Ida Sand recognize themselves and which gives the ageless songs by Neil Young not only with her voice an additional depth.
