A young Swedish star and a veteran New York jazzman team up on a collection of new songs expressing hope, longing, sympathy, sensuality, impatience, fighting, bitter regret, secrecy and sweet romance. Singer Amanda Ginsburg, born and raised in Stockholm, has captured a wide audience since her album debut in 2018. That album won a Swedish Grammy the following year in the category Best Jazz Album. In 2020 she released her second album which again won for Best Jazz in 2021.

She sings like an angel, with the tantalizing combination of innocence and wisdom that the word implies. Andy Fite came to Sweden from New York City in 1994. He is a highly regarded jazz guitarist, singer and songwriter with over 900 songs written and 56 albums released. The duo features sweet harmony, interplay, some wild improvising and a lot of humor.

It happened early in 2013 that I noticed with some interest that the number of songs I have written (I started keeping track almost from the beginning, and I'm so glad I did-- it would have been chaos otherwise) was drawing tantalizingly near to the 500 mark, and I was duly tantatlized. So I thought, for the second time already, to avail myself of the cycle of 24 keys, and, as before, it worked wonderfully. The songs came quickly and pretty easily. The seed planted, it seems, it was just to water them a little and then dig them out.

The first twelve were written in the spring. From the first conception of the first tune to the release of the music took ten weeks. I felt so inspired!

The songs at hand (starting in E-flat major and winding up in D minor) were written in the summer and early autumn, and recorded in October. The album title, and the closing track, were inspired by the cover photo, taken by me in a parking lot in suburban Stockholm a couple of years ago. Sweet, serious creature!

Completing the suite didn't actually get me to 500. "Lord, What a Party!" is song number 498 in my catalog. I did get two more after that, but in the end they didn't seem to belong with these. I realized too late that getting to 500 did me no good at all: when you send out the promo bits, you can't say "Andy Fite has written 500 songs," it's got to be either Nearly 500, or Over 500. Right now I can't say anything!

I probably ought to go write a song now.

Anyway, I'm glad for the way these came out, and I hope you like them too. It's all me here, on voice(s), guitar(s) and the acoustic bass guitar. Recorded in Stockholm be me myself.
