Alice Babs
Born:
Swedish born Hildur Alice Nilsson, professionally known as Alice Babs first appeared publicly at the age of twelve, and she achieved instant fame. Her first hit recording was a song known in English as “The Yodeling Girl”. A string of Swedish film roles turned her into a teen movie star. She sang with famous classical musicians, performed for the Swedish Royal Family, and during World War II played for soldiers with popular acts like Sammy Davis. The first exposure Babs had to America was in 1962 when she toured with the Swe-Danes, a trio made up of Babs, guitarist Ulrik Neumann, and violinist Svend Asmussen
Irreversible Entanglements: Future Present Past
by Jack Kenny
Irreversible Entanglements do not deliver coded music. Frustrated by music that only claims to carry a message, the quintet--Camae Ayewa, Luke Stewart, Keir Neuringer, Aquiles Navarro and Tcheser Holmes--fuses long-form improvisation, groove, and spoken word into a contemporary extension of the 1960s and '70s Black avant-garde. They originally came together to protest a police brutality event ...

by Jack Kenny
Jazz listeners with long memories will remember that Charles Lloyd was not always as revered as he is today.

Sarah Riedel: Living Up To Expectations
by James Pearse
The world of jazz is no stranger to the sound of the Swedish language. Alice Babs and Monica Zetterlund--and more recently, Rigmor Gustafsson--are just a few of the names of jazz vocalists hailing from this cold northern country that have reached the ears of US and UK audiences. Some people believe that spoken Swedish ...
