Ten years ago singer and composer Anna Lundqvist decided to go on her own musical journey. After finishing her education and spending some years out in the freelance world, she wanted to work exclusively with her own music and concept. She started ALQ together with her childhood friend, pianist Daniel Fredar, and drummer Jon-Erik Björänge whom she'd known since her time in music school. Bass player Mattias Grönroos had played with them in other constellations and he was found to be a perfect match. Together with this group of solid and skillfull musicians she started developing her sound and material. In 2008, after the recording of their first album, BORDERLINE FIESTA (2009), pianist Fabian Kallerdahl replaced Daniel. At the same time saxophone player Björn Almgren joined in and ALQ went from a quartet to quintet. Since then they have released two more albums, CITY (2010) and BEFORE YOU I WAS ALMOST FINE (2012) (dB Productions). So now it's 2015! TEN is ALQ's forth album and is a collection of live recordings celebrating ten years together. It's a "best of ALQ" album with twelve of their most popular songs. Recorded during 2014 at several jazz clubs around Sweden, put together in a mix of energy, joy and awsomeness!

“As a whole, BORDERLINE FIESTA is a successful debut, probably one of the best Swedish debuts this year.” Bertil Sundin, OJ Orkesterjournalen (4/5)

I’m born in 1977 in Stockholm but I’m raised in a small town called Mellerud in Dalsland, together with my little sister and little brother. My parents are musicians from Värmland ( Hagfors and Karlstad). Before my life became all about jazz I played the cello and sang only classical music. In music high school at SundstaÄlvkullegymnasiet in Karlstad I found jazz. I dedicated my time traning my voice into the technique of afro and learning about the world of jazz. After that I studied jazz at Skurup Folkhögskola and I have been working profesionally since 2000. I live in Gothenburg where I fill my days with work as a freelancing singer, composer and vocal coach. Anna Lundqvist Quintet is my head project and 2009 we released our first album, Borderline fiesta. In 2010 my second, City and October 2012 we released a third cd, Before you I was almost fine.
