This makes me proud to be a Swedish-American, and I'm happy to have heard Alice so much courtesy of Leigh Kammand on Minnesota Public Radio, for so many years.
Alice Babs was a top vocalist from the very beginnng, starting with sensational jazz recordings as a teen-ager. Her feeling for music and voice usage as well as her exquisite artistry made her loved by the audience.
Not only the favorite songstress of Duke Ellington, but everyones who have ever heard her. Could have been a megastar if only she would. Never heard Jenny Lind from the 19 th century but she was a sensation too. Alice the sensation of the 20 th century
what album is this tract on?

I just want to correct you, "Swing it magistern" doesn't mean "Swing it, teacher" it means "swing it professor" :P

Alice Babs - incredible Jazz contralto.

Incredible indeed, but she is most certainly not a contralto. She is a soprano. The opposite.
