About Me

The Moleskins is a jazz quartet from Stockholm, Sweden, specializing on doing their own sassy versions of some of the great classics of music history. Some of the featured artists are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Carole King, The Police, Michael Jackson and David Bowie. They perform regularly in and around Stockholm and their first album, Dedication, is scheduled to be released just before Christmas. For bookings, please feel free to contact Caroline at [email protected].
"Jazzy takes on familiar tunes -- a great little record that rummages through the pop canon of the past few decades, then comes up with vocal jazz versions of the tunes that are totally great -- really transforming the original compositions in a totally great way, all without any sort of gimmicks! Instrumentation is pretty spare -- just keyboards, bass, and drums -- with vocals handled by soulful Scandinavian singer Caroline Ekstrom, whose tones really bring a lot of magic to these tracks originally recorded by The Police, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, and others. The whole project's a lot like some of the Re:Jazz sides in recent years -- save for the fact that these tracks were originally even more mainstream than those selected for the Re:Jazz project -- which makes their transformation here all the more impressive..."
