Bass – Anders Christensen; Drums – Mikkel Hess; Guitar [Guitars] – Eugene Pao; Keyboards – Nikolaj Torp; Percussion – Tira Skambye Madsen; Saxophone [Saxophones], Clarinet – Hans Ulrik; Vocals – Angelita Li. Recorded at Granny Studios, Copenhagen, June 28 - 30 2001.

In June 2001 Angelita Li went to Copenhagen to record a cd with Hans Ulrik and his closely-knit band. The result is delightful. Charming and highly sensual music, inter alia coloured by warm Brazilian rhythms, and interpreted by the enticing Chinese singer Angelita Li, who sings just as charmingly in English as she does in Portuguese. The music is sparkling, straightforward and perfect for any occasion. No new ground is broken, but there are plenty of contributions from highly professional musicians with their heart in the right place. We have invented a new genre - jazz-light. A cd for any occasion; catching, pleasant and sensual. Delicious jazz pop, here and in Hong Kong - and in the rest of the world!

The Paramount Dance Hall is the grand old lady of Shanghai's past. But in 1930, it was the most expensive and elaborate ballroom of its age, with a specially designed wooden dance floor with cantilevered springs. Now, the old songs still play, and the elderly dancers twirl stiffly — but the Paramount is a tired reminder of what once was.

Today, a small group of jazz musicians are re-creating the sounds of the old days for a series of concerts in Shanghai. These elderly veterans of the jazz scene play with the same verve as they did in the 1940s. The roaring nightlife of Shanghai came to an end after the Communist revolution in 1949. Finally in 1980, as Shanghai opened up once more, the management of the Peace Hotel decided to start a jazz band, the first in China. Back at the Paramount, the band still plays on.
