The wife loves jazz. Speaking of "new" I gave her an LP with Jan
Johansson called Jazz på svenska. It's a jazzification of old swedish
folk melodies. Quite relaxing, calm and melancholic. Kind of mirrors the

Spounds similar to the old recordings with Svend Asmussen and Alice
Babs. There was a box set called Together.

My own taste is more to Lill Lindfors

Could not login. Was password protected. But both Babs and Lindfors are very classic!

I like Nordic Revival bands like Garmana. I'm not sure I'd like jazz in

Ahh... Garmarna! Yes, good stuff! I even have a cd somewhere in a box in
the attic. There was a time when I really like them, and I still do. =)

Never heard of them. From the Wikipedia article, it seems like they
traverse a wide arch of styles. From Hildegard of Bingen to "trip hop".
Which of it do you like?

At that time it was more of modernized folk music. Had no idea about the other stuff!
