2005 Jeanette Lindström - In The Middle Of This Riddle {Amigo Music} [16-44,1]

Jeanette Lindström is the singer that once prompted legendary producer Quincy Jones to voice the portentous words: “An old soul in a young singer”, and also: “She really understands what jazz is all about!”. Today Jeanette Lindström is one of Sweden’s most prized jazz singers, but at the same time she has never been opposed to stepping outside of the borders of jazz.
The priorities are her own band and her own compositions. Composing and performing her own material, both music and lyrics, has always played a central role in Jeanette’s musicianship. Throughout the years Jeanette has also worked in other bands and projects and appeared on several occasions as a featured vocalist with renowned jazz groups, big bands, chamber orchestras and symphony orchestras. She has given concerts and toured extensively throughout the Nordic countries as well as France, Belgium, UK, Japan and Canada.
The CD Walk was released in 2003, marking the start of a new collaboration with the Amigo record label, and in 2005 the album In The Middle Of This Riddle was released. These two consists mainly of her own compositions, and were unanimously praised by both press and audiences. The album Whistling Away the Dark was recorded and released in 2006, and was also very warmly received. That is her first standard album in her own name, and just like her previous two albums for the Amigo label, the new album was recorded at the famed Atlantis studio in Stockholm.
The song Leaf from In The Middle of This Riddle was remixed in 2007 by the famous American DJ and producer King Britt, and was exclusively released on iTunes Europe. Another track from the same album was featured on the Saint-Germain des Pres Café – “Ladies in Nu Jazz” – Volume 7, alongside tracks with Norah Jones, Beaudy Belle, Jamie Cullum, Susi Hyldgaard and others.
After being awarded the “Jazz In Sweden”-prize Jeanette recorded her debut CD, Another Country, on the Caprice record label in 1995. This recording was followed by yet another on the same label in 1997, called I Saw You. In 1998 she recorded and toured with Norrbotten Big Band led by trumpeter Tim Hagans in collaboration with pianist Kenny Werner, resulting in a CD featuring music by Kurt Weill as well as repertoire associated with Frank Sinatra, which was released in 1999. For several years Jeanette worked in a duo along with pianist Steve Dobrogosz. In 2000 they released a CD called Feathers (Prophone Records). She has also toured and recorded with bass player Anders Jormin (Once, Dragon records 1997).
In the fall of 2008 signed with the Swedish independent label Playground Music Scandinavia/Diesel Music, and her latest album Attitude & Orbit Control was released by them in October 2009. Magnus Öström (from e.s.t.) has co-produced and is also playing drums on the album. In January 2010, Jeanette received a Grammis for Attitude & Orbit Control in the Jazz category, at the Swedish Grammis Awards in Stockholm.
