Anna Christoffersson - vocal, Steve Dobrogosz - piano.

Steve Dobrogosz grew up in the American south (Raleigh, NC) where his training as a classical pianist paralleled his fascination with popular music. After moving to Stockholm in '78 he became part of Scandinavia's jazz scene as both pianist and composer. His 1982 duo album "Fairy Tales" with Norwegian singer Radka Toneff is widely regarded as a classic. The Gothenburg Post compared his music to Gershwin and Porter, writing "Dobrogosz's songs are melodic masterpieces, with a harmonic sophistication seldom found in music today."

In the 90s Dobrogosz shifted focus to notated composition and his reputation grew as a modern representative of tonal lyricism. His first major choral work Mass (1992) has now been performed in over 40 countries. Dobrogosz's oeuvre includes over 1000 compositions in a broad spectrum of genres. His duo recordings with Anna Christoffersson received two Swedish Grammy nominations.

When utsökte Steve Dobrogosz do not write their own music, dedicated to the successful scaling down others, find hidden structures in the dusty pop for instance. With singer Anna Christoffersson he has also formed a popular duo with live taste. Their new cover collection on the album is a bit flat. Most of the interpretations with few exceptions, do not add anything new. Christofferson's voice is nice, but not really the life weight that is required in this mästarsamling. Ave Maria followed by Lennon's Jealous Guy are therefor a bit hard to digest as the start. How were you there?

Pianist Steve Dobrogosz and singer Anna Christoffersson has chosen a repertoire beyond jazz with Schubert's Ave Maria, and Leon Russell with a connection to blues and gospel and restoring the piano in rock. Marvin Gaye's I heard it through the grapevine may have been a special source of inspiration. There are strong feelings and careful eye for musical DEVICES individuality. 

The song is somewhat uneven, it happens that Christoffersson lets air through at the expense of the timbre of the voice. Translate by google ~ Ingrid Strömdahl  http://www.svd.se/anna-christoffersson-och-steve-dobrogosz_5682663
