KARIN KROG

9:18 AM / Posted by strgzr /



















''Magnificent work from European jazz vocalist Karin Krog -- a landmark album that shows why she sings like no other singer! On this 1974 session, Karin moves far beyond the standard jazz of her roots -- into territory that's spacey, cosmic, and filled with the best influences bubbling underground in the Euro scene of the 70s. The backing group features Steve Kuhn on keyboards, Steve Swallow on bass, and Jon Christensen on drums -- all working out these beautiful modal patterns that unlock Karin's cool and icy vocals. The tunes are all pretty incredible too -- vocal versions of originals by Kuhn, like "Meaning Of Love", "Sometime To Go", and "Raindrops Raindrops"; a very cool version of Joni Mitchell's "All I Want", a rare Jon Hendricks' lyrical version of JJ Johnson's "Lament", and a sweet and breezy take on the Michel Colombier tune "We Could Be Flying"!DUSTY GROOVE AMERICA

WE COULD BE FLYING
