Digitally remastered and expanded edition of Monica Zetterlund's long-deleted and extremely rare 1958 debut album plus all the original a and B sides of her early EPs. Few performers epitomized the sound of Scandinavian Jazz, or did more to introduce it to the rest of the world, than Monica Zetterlund. On it's release in 1958, the 21-year-old's first album announced the arrival of a genuinely distinctive talent. Her voice was delicate, fragile and tinged with melancholy - far removed from the barnstorming style that characterized so many American Jazz singers - yet there was nothing bloodless about her sense of rhythm and melody. 21 tracks. El. 2009.
