MONICA Z AT ATLANTIS AND POLAR STUDIOS

In our Swedish catalogue, we have a couple of albums with highly acclaimed Swedish jazz singer/actress Monica Zetterlund.

Monica started her career 1958 och worked during the year with jazz giants like Bill Evans, Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Toots Thielemans and others. Miles Davis was very fond of her. She had an amazing career, not only as a singer but also as an actress. One of Sweden's most beloved artists ever. She was signed to BMG in 1989 and during the years we released 6 albums. The first three albums were a huge success and it was an fantastic comeback for her. Monica also had many fans outside Sweden but tragically passed away 2005.

In the early 90's, BMG recorded some of her "Swedish" songs in English and the plan was to release an album internationally. Songs that did appear with Swedish lyrics on three of her bestselling albums from the 90's.The release didn't happened and the tapes were put away and forgotten. I've tried to find out why the release didn't happen but haven't got any good answer.
A couple a years ago the tapes were found and Swedish media got notice about these recordings and fans have reached out to us to have them released.

So, we have together with the producer put together an album of these 9 recordings. And it sounds really great.
