about
Swedish vocalist Jeanette Lindström once prompted legendary music producer Quincy Jones to voice the portentous words: "An old soul in a young singer", and: "She really understands what jazz is all about!" In 1995, Lindström made her major breakthrough. After being awarded the "Jazz in Sweden" prize, she recorded her debut album, Another Country, on the Caprice record label that year. This was followed in 1997 by I Saw You. In 1998 she recorded and toured with Norrbotten Big Band, led by trumpeter Tim Hagans in collaboration with pianist Kenny Werner, resulting in a CD featuring music by Kurt Weill as well as repertoire associated with Frank Sinatra, which was released in 1999. For several years, Lindström worked with pianist Steve Dobrogosz as a duo. In 2000, they released Feathers (Prophone Records). She has also toured and recorded with bass player Anders Jormin (Once, Dragon Records, 1997). Her 2003 album, Walk, marked the start of a new collaboration with the Amigo record label, followed by In The Middle Of This Riddle (2005). These two releases consist mainly of her own compositions, and were unanimously praised by critics and audiences alike. Her latest album, Whistling Away the Dark (2006), has also been very warmly received. This is her first album in her own name, and like her previous two albums, was recorded at the famed Atlantis studio in Stockholm. The song "Leaf" from In the Middle of This Riddle was recently remixed by American DJ and producer King Britt,
