Jazz from Scandinavia is well tolerated, the presence of Swedish and Norwegian artists on world-wide festival platforms inevitably connected with quality and originality. The fact that Sweden has more than one piece of furniture for the world has turned around since singers such as Viktoria Tolstoy or Rigmor Gustafsson were brought into the limelight by their famous countryman, the trombonist Nils Landgren. Already in the 1960s it was the Stockholm actress and singer Monica Zetterlund, who was put into the public focus of the Jazzgemeinde by Quincy Jones and Bill Evans. And right there the circle closes to the most recent discovery from the almost inexhaustible reservoir of Scandinavian singers, the only 26  year old Lovisa Lindkvist, who was the first scholarship holder to be awarded the Monica Zetterlund Scholarship.

A voice that stands out in its purity and intonation security, a young artist, whose naturalness is refreshingly like a spring day. In her debut album, she was with the pianist and arranger Bengt Lindkvist as an old hare of the Swedish jazz scene, who acquired his craft in the 60s and 70s when the poles of the music world were somewhere between Burt Bacharach and John Coltrane. And so it is no wonder that the repertoire of Lovisa's first work is between timeless jazz standards like some Hoagy Carmichael's "Skylark" (in a very contemporary interpretation) or the Rodgers & Hart - Evergreen "He Was Too Good For Me" "The Look Of Love" by Burt Bacharach, but also small Pop miniatures such as the relatively new James Taylor song "Line` em Up "or" Time Is A Healer "from the unforgotten Eva Cassidy. All in all, a very personal and very youthful look at half a century of great songwriting. To the musicians of the album "That Girl!" belongs among others. the great Swedish trumpeter Jan Allan, who belongs to the first series of Swedish jazz musicians. The merit of having presented the young Stockholmian Lovisa for the first time outside of Sweden is due to Nils Landgren, who was already mentioned at the outset, who presented the young singer as part of a new generation in Bonn. In the meantime, successful performances even followed exotic places like the Dubai Jazz Festival. Translate by Google https://www.amazon.de/That-Girl-Lovisa/dp/B0015UGNDM

Statements from the Swedish press: "What is the meaning of this?" - "It's pleasant listening: pure and natural voice, clear and sensitive knowledge of both music and lyrics.

The German audience can already look forward to the Swede on 17 April, when she is part of the first Skip Labelnight Jazz is Now! in the Hamburg Kampnagelfabrik the album "That Girl!" will be presented.

That Girl!
