About Me
The Swedish jazz singer, arranger,
composer and improviser Lina Nyberg
released in 2017 her 18th CD, ”Terrestrial”

trilogy. An epic artwork in which Linas
voice, music, lyrics and arrangements
creates a brand new universe for the
listener. ”Terrestrial” was awarded the
”Gyllene skivan”-prize as the best jazz
album of the year by the legendary
Swedish jazz magazine Orkesterjournalen.
Lina Nyberg is one of Sweden’s most
creative and innovative jazz singers. For
about 20 years she has been attracting
consistent and widespread attention,
starting with the debut in 1993 with the
duo CD Close together with late pianist
Esbjörn Svensson until now, at the release
of ”Terrestrial” with her amazing new
music for her band and symphony
orchestra.
