Dans till storband, tillhör det en svunnen tid? Berätta det i så fall inte för Leif Kronlund. Vid 87 är denne mästare av svensk storbandsdans hetare än någonsin. Då har hans eviga orkester ändå spelat för sådana som Elizabeth Taylor och Frank Sinatra på några av världens mest fashionabla nattklubbar. Även Ann-Louise Hanson, Towa Carson & Anna-Lena Löfgren är exempel på artister som slagit igenom som sångare i orkestern. <br/><br/>Leif Kronlunds Orkester drar tusentals dansande och dussintals fullastade bussar från hela landet till sina showkvällar. 2017 blev Kronlund trefaldigt prisbelönad - inklusive av kungen för sina tjänster för dansen. Nu firar han det med att ge ut ett helt nytt album, "Keep Swinging", som spelats in i samma studio i Stockholm där han gjorde sina första inspelningar för mer än 60 år sedan.

Modern Jazz Quartet: The last concert 1974 [2 CD]

"After doing three solo albums, the challenge of interpreting Eric Satie's music seemed challenging, appealing and also like a good way of finding new angles and flavours in my own music.<br/>What struck me while digging deeper in his catalogue was how modern and progressive he still appears, beside the soothing and calming mellowness that I think we all associate his music with, I found very brave, sometimes stubborn minimalism and besides the blue harmonies that we now associate with jazz, I found really salty, almost cluster-like colours that must have been extremely challenging for the end of 19th century ears.<br/>I humbly thank Satie for letting me borrow his music for a while (he didn't have a say though), giving me both the meditative peace I hope you will also experience while listening and, like in the Nocturne, challenging my ears and fingers to reach new territories.<br/>" - Martin Hederos<br/><br/>Artists: <br/>Martin Hederos: grand piano, celesta, felt piano, violin, Philocorda organ, Juno 60 synthesiser<br/>Dan Berglund: Double bass on tracks 1+8<br/>Konrad Agnas: Drums on track 10<br/>Anton Sundell: samples and programing on tracks 6, 9

The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."

The live solo album features the pianist and composer's interpretations of nine songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and one by George Harrison. Although other Beatles songs have long been staples of Mehldau's solo and trio shows, he had not previously recorded any of the tunes on Your Mother Should Know. The album ends with a David Bowie classic that draws a connection between The Beatles and pop songwriters who followed. Your Mother Should Know was recorded in September 2020 at Philharmonie de Paris.
