So it Sings
Jiiva Records
Vocal jazz. This is singer Madeleine Ostlunds debutrecord. She has written both lyrics and music to most of the tracks, but here is also music by Charles Mingus, Roland Kirk, Tadd Dameron and Oscar Brown jr. She sings with a nearness and warmth that makes this CD to a listners’ adventure. Her own lyrics create a natural unity. Pianist Adam Forkelid plays long melodic lines and emphasizes even the small nuances in Madeleine Ostlunds singing. The music has many faces and expressions. Here mingles swing, lyrical melancholy, as in the beautiful Rain,rain, and the bluest blues as in Oscar Brown jr:s When Malindy Sings, with swinging tenorsaxplay by Klas Toresson The CD is very well worked-out, but the playfulness is not forgotten. Others that are heard is the sensitive bass-player Per-Ola Landin, Calle Rasmusson on drums, Anders Astrand on marimba and Johan Oijen on guitar.
