A jazz record filled with well known Swedish jazz musicians. This guarantees a good backing for Bodil Ejwertz on her fine solo debut album. Some tunes of her own mixed with standards such as My Funny Valentine. It feels genuine and natural in the subtle ballads as well as in the more swinging tunes. The piano player Anders Persson adds a lot with his very sensitive tone.
"Here is the same naked, low-voiced sincere singing style as the one of Astrud Gilberto. Bodil nurses the tunes very well, singing with confidence and a feeling of personal touch."
"It feels genuin and natural both in the fine tuned ballads and the more swinging pieces."
"Bodil shows her strength in the ballads."
