No dislikes............. No wonder !!!!

I'm not normally at all into jazz, because I belong to a different generation of course, and not familiarized with it, but this is GREAT. I wonder where this was shot? Not Gyllene Cirkeln which was built in 1962 I think, the interior is to old-fashioned. It has got to be "Nalen", the National night club, which still exists, more or less intact. I will go and have a look some day.

Coool! (extra "o")

[Roboviewer]

Not nearly as good as the version from the 1958

Newport festival, which is also here on youtube.

[JaimeSouviens]

She's snapping her fingers because she's trying to move this sluggish dumb band along. She is by far the best, and she can even make this work, almost, but the band is awful. Look at the other videos in this performance.

[stuntcat666]

You can hear her snapping her fingers in some of her songs, it's teh best!

[brixtonbluebeat]

sweeden was so ahead of it's time



[stuntcat666]

Wow!  I love her!

[tbrooks62481]

Agreed. This woman had a voice/presence God would let Lucifer back in to hear

[Stuart7500]

I love this recording. No special editing, dubbing, auto-tuning, not even any fancy camera work.

Pure, wholesome music.

@Stuart7500 I really dig the tune, but she really took it to another level during her 1958 Newport Jazz Fest appearance.
