There is no doubt that Jill Johnson is Sweden's uncrowned queen country, but in the fall Jill Johnson takes a step to the side of country music and release an American Songbook albums! An album that is a tribute to Jill's father who has supported her throughout her career. After Jill's success as a singer, musician and songwriter, not least in country music, with the acclaimed Swedish Television series "Jills veranda" and the hit show "Jill" on the Stock Exchange in the spring, choose Jill this autumn to try something for her brand new; To record American classics from the 20s onwards. Standards that are arranged for big band and strings of arranger and musician Anders Berglund. Jill and Anders have talked about making this album together for several years, but not until now has always been right. Anders Jill took under their wing 15 years ago, after they had worked together during the Eurovision Song Contest in 1998 and has presented Jill for big bands, symphony orchestras and invited to collaborations with musicians such as Putte Wickman and Svante Thuresson. "Songs For Daddy" is a tribute album to my father who was a great inspiration in my career. His love of "the American songbook" and jazz have been with me since I was a child and I have long promised him that one day I will play in a big band album. Songs from the past with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and Dean Martin. I decided to make the disc now because I'm doing a big band medley of floor show "JILL" and for that I want daddy to be part of it! On "Songs For Daddy" are the very personal and original song "No Other Daddy But You," Jill wrote with his låtskrivarkollegor in Nashville earlier this year. But it also contains classics like Fly Me To The Moon, Everybody Loves Somebody, Moon River and Hallelujah I Just Love Him So and even a big band version of her big hit Crazy In Love. "Songs For Daddy" is a tribute to Jill's father, Tommy, but also a declaration of love to all the fantastic music Jill has been with her from her childhood!
