In Sweden Suss has often been compared to Norah Jones and this album shows her fantastic vocal and songwriting abilities in a mixture of jazz and pop. She´s got Sweden's best musicians to back her up with Christer Jansson on drums, Matts Alsberg on bass,Torbjörn Stener,Pelle Robertsson, Robert Öberg and Thomas Tjärnkvist on guitars, Jonas Sjöblom on percussion and Suss plays all the keyboards. Stockholm Power Horns contribute on a couple of songs.

Suss grew up in the northern part of Sweden and as a preacher's daughter experienced the benefits of moving around a lot. She spent 5 years of her childhood in Liberia, on the west coast of Africa . At the age of thirteen she started to write her own songs and learned to play the piano. Shortly after that she became a member in a band in Umeå, Sweden and also the pianist of a gospel choir. A few years later she started her own band. In 1994 her first album was released. She has performed at: Falun Jazz Festival; Umeå International Jazz Festival; Stockholm Jazz Festival just to name a few and many times on Swedish Television.

In the follow up to ”Zeldas Park”(2004) Suss von Ahn once again shows her strength as a songwriter, pianist and singer. Most of the tracks on the new album are a mix of jazz and pop with a lot of attention paid to arrengements and colour extravaganza from Stockholm Session Strings and Stockholm Power Horns. “Train to Stockholm” and “Gotta be” has been released as singles in Scandinavia and has got a lot of airplay. Extraordinary musicians like Per Lindvall on drums and Mats Öberg on harmonica contributes. Most of the songs are written by Suss but two covers are included. One of them “Alone again,naturally” (Gilbert O´Sullivan) is taken from Suss´Japanese album “Cry me a river”(Spice of Life) and the other is Nat King Cole´s “Straighten up and fly right” in a wonderful a cappella version.  http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/sussvonahn2
