Ita 12 Bytes Jeanette Winteerson

Swedish singer/composer/lyricist Jeanette Lindström is threefold gifted. She has that ability to set the imagination of the listener in movement; with her voice, her music as well as with her words. In synch. Her sixth solo album, entitled Attitude & Orbit Control, serves as hard proof. It is a space odyssey of sorts, interpersonal as well as interstellar. The micro- as well as macrocosmic forces at play. Fellow travellers include co-writing guest vocalist Robert Wyatt, a whole new band and new co-producer and drummer Magnus Öström of e.s.t. as well as lyrics contributor Sidsel Endresen. Attitude & Orbit Control will be released on October 21st by Playground Music Scandinavia on the Diesel imprint. As on most of Jeanette Lindström's records A&OC comprises mainly original material…

Jeanette Lindstrцm is the jazz singer that prompted legendary producer Quincy Jones to voice the portentous words: "An old soul in young singer's body." And also: "She really understands what jazz is all about!" The year was 1995 and Jeanette Lindstrцm made her major breakthrough - on a broad front. She is first and foremost a jazz singer, but at the same time has never been opposed to stepping outside of the borders of jazz.

When Niels Rosing-Schow was growing up, Danish music was adapting to the New Simplicity of Henning Christiansen, Ole Buck and Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen. European ears were growing familiar with the slow, crystalline musical metamorphoses of György Ligeti. From the Paris of Gérard Grisey, Tristan Murail and Iannis Xenakis came the suggestion that sound and harmony might just be the same thing.
