Swedish vocalist and improviser Lisa Björänge transforms ABBA into playful jazz!
A jazz singer that pushes musical boundaries. With an adventurous group of musicians she plays her own music and presents ABBA tunes in jazz versions.
”Behind the microphone, one of the most expressive of all the young jazz vocalists that have made an appearance on the jazz scene lately. Lisa Björänge dares to show herself from many sides. Tender at times, bold at others, composed when it is appropriate and damn intensive at other crucial moments. Her scat singing is high class and the collaboration with her band members is a joy to see and hear.”
”Lisa Björänge sings open and lively while staying true to the melodies and avoiding sounding pretencious in her frasing. With Mattias Windmo on guitar, Klas Toresson on saxophone, Pär-Ola Landin on bass and Jon Fält on the drums, she’s got a strong accompaniment- and what’s maybe the most important is that they sound like a band and not hired musicians.”
”You can hear and tell by the choice of songs that Lisa, despite the fact that this is her debut album, has a whole lot of experience. She has written all but four of the album’s thirteen tracks and they are of high quality. She sings with great character while maintaining full control and has a beautiful range with a poetic touch. It doesn’t get much better than this. Arguably one of this year’s big breakthroughs. An extra plus for her quartet that lifts her up to these heights.”
