At the time of these recordings, John Lewis was still in the process of developing the unique concept of MJQ as a jazz chamber group, for which he often scored even the bass and drum parts. Every track of this pioneering early phase exemplifies how Lewis, to quote Andre Francis, turned four musicians into 'a sensitive instrument which vibrates in the same universe of sound, achieving a communion unique in the world of jazz.'

New York, March 1960. At 22, Monica Zetterlund is a starry eyed Swedish vocalist with Ella, Sarah and Billie on her mind. On her first New York visit, famous critic and sometime record producer Leonard Feather rents Bell Sound Studios on West 54th Street. An all-star cast including Thad Jones, Zoot Sims and Jimmy Jones is hired to accompany Monica's first attempt to conquer the US jazz world. And then the tapes are lost. 36 years later, they surface. 12 unreleased songs, heard only by a handful of people. 4 outtakes not familiar even to Monica. A not to be missed portrait of a masterful young performer.

I select a few tracks, what didn’t get that attention, or something happened that they didn’t release in the past. Finally, I’m so happy to release them without saying “these are old” because I produced them in a timeless way. I want to thank you guys for supporting me and follow my releases all those years. And for sure a big thanx to all people that I meet and had beautiful studio time and produced nice flows. Who I want to thank? Well, how snoop once said, I want to thank myself to being real in all those years and done all those with the real love to the music even how other acted. If you read to this, you are the one who now know that my mate Lee and I will go for a fancy spacy Atmo box next. A box of glory.

Röyksopp on the Lost Tapes series: "Upon renovating our arctic chateau here in the desolate north, we came across an old sea-chest containing an abundance of rare B-sides, exclusives - & even some previously unreleased tracks. We thought the only right thing would be to make these "hard-to-find" tracks available for those of you who prefer to stream music. So therefore we’ve created a playlist called "Lost Tapes". The Playlist will be updated as we go, make sure you subscribe. All obscure tracks will eventually see the light of day."
