Thanks for posting this. It is a masterpiece. Alice Babs Sjöblom is a jazz singer of absolute worldclass. Was also one of the voices in the famous show group SweDanes. Povel Ramel was outstanding. Will never forget him and his musical companions.
What a delight! Thank you for posting this. I met Ms Babs at the Ellington conference in Stockholm in 2004, and she was very nice. I haven't heard her in her non-Ellington recordings before, so I was pleased to stumple onto this one.
@davidpalmquist Thanks for your comment. Well, Alice Babs made her recording debut as early as 1938 - if I remember correctly and I think she has tried every possible music genre during her long and fabolous career. She sings with perfection without ever getting boring - which I think is incredibly impressive.
The arrangement itself and the supporting musicians add to the success of this recording. This is jazz worth listening to. I wish I could understand the words in the middle, but my Swedish isn't good enough.
(Arrangemanget i sig och de stödjande musikerna lägga till framgång för denna inspelning. Detta är jazz värd att lyssna på. Jag önskar jag kunde förstå orden i mitten, men min svenska är inte tillräckligt bra.)
