Karl Olandersson – trumpet and vocals; Klas Lindquist – reeds; Fredrik Lindborg – reeds; Magnus Wiklund – trombone; Daniel Tilling – piano; Göran Lind – double Bass; Mattias Puttonen – drums.

The idea was to form a band with top jazz and swing players in Stockholm. The four horn players in the front line play a important role in the band. With cleverly written arrangements, mostly by Klas Lindquist and Fredrik Lindborg, the band can play softly as a small group and seconds later explode in a big band fortissimo. The rhythm section gives the band a bouncing ground where solos and ensemble playing become a joy. The members of the Stockholm Swing All Stars are considered as the best in its field in Sweden. The Stockholm Swing All Stars play swing and jazz music suitable both for concerts and for dancing. The band often plays at lindy hop and other dance events as well as in concert halls around Europe.

Casey MacGill writes and performs music that swings. A classic Hollywood character in appearance and style, MacGill plays boogie-woogie, swing, and stride piano - Fats Waller meets Fats Domino. Casey has developed a signature vocal sound; he has a way with a torch song, and enjoys the adventure of scat singing. MacGill's repertoire covers a range of material from the Gershwins to Leiber & Stoller to those low-down, dirty blues. He blows a lyrical cornet, but his most unique instrumental voice is a 6-string tenor ukulele.

Casey grew up in Southern California. As a member of "The Magic Mushroom", he and the band (including jazz singer Marilyn Scott) caravanned up to the legendary Monterey Pop Festival. Back in Pasadena, MacGill majored in music at Pasadena City College, and Cal State LA, studying with jazz greats Gary Foster, Warne Marsh, and Buddy Collette. At the famous folk club the Ice House, Casey's first 20's-30's band opened for Lily Tomlin. His interest in vintage American music was kindled by cartoonist and painter Robert Armstrong, which led to a long musical association with members of R.Crumb's Cheap Suit Serenaders. As a member of The Rubber Band, MacGill appeared on the Tonight Show (with Johnny Carson), and recorded for Atlantic Records. He also appeared on the infamous Gong Show.

Casey currently lives in Seattle, working with the vintage jazz vocal group, The Blue 4 Trio. The band includes bass player Matt Weiner (The Flying Neutrinos, The Asylum Street Spankers, The Hot Club of Cowtown, Matt Munisteri, Rani Arbo) and drummer Mike Daugherty (The Yes Yes Boys, Jo Miller and Her Burly Roughnecks, Evergreen Classic Jazz Band, Holotradband). The band plays locally at The Pink Door (Pike Place Market), Salty’s/Alki, and many various events, parties, etc. The Blue 4 Trio also perform with "Swing" alumni Ryan Francois and Jenny Thomas at Camp Savoy in London (2007 will be the 4th year), Festiv’ Alan near Toulouse, France, and the Edinburg Jazz Festival, Scotland.

Dodicilune marks the debut of a promising singer Italian. Bologna, born in 1982, Chiara Pancaldi looks through an album refined, pleasant and bright. His voice is clear and full of swing. Reinterprets standards with an enviable ease. From "You're driving me crazy" in which the elegance of his vocal timbre blends improvisation and scat continuing with the title track " The Song Is You ". Supported by four accomplished musicians, who not only accompany, but embellish his performances singing. Nico Menci floor, Bright David on guitar,Stefano Senni on bass and Victor Sicbaldi on drums.

With so much support, the singer winds its way through the interpretations of the past, experimenting, soon after, with his version of the character and style of a piece of Ellington's " Do not get around much anymore . " Fearlessly but reverently he passes then the arduous test bossa nova. Try become almost mandatory for a jazz singer who wants to be considered complete. " Sabia "of Jobim and Chico Buarque and" Morro dois irmaos "emphasize the versatility and artistic sensitivity of Pancaldi. Good pronunciation and a particular intensity complete the picture.

And how can it even draw from the repertoire of Cole Porter when you pay homage to the standards of the fifties and sixties. His " So in love "is dense and passionate, as the remaining standard" Day by Day "and" I Should Care ". But the Bolognese singer signed two pieces.The text of " On "4th tuned blues "music by David Bright and text and music of the song" Wade ", the latter only real ballad on the album. A song sophisticated and intimate, that sums up the elegance of this his first album. An excellent debut for a singer who will have much to say in the future.~ Valeria Lopresti for Jazzitalia Translate by google http://www.jazzitalia.net/recensioni/thesongisiyou.asp#.VdZkM89Vikp
