Nils Landgren : Sentimental Journey

Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Natalie Cole – these are the stars that have caused a worldwide furore with their full-blown movement back to the ‘standards’. It comes as no surprise that the interpretation of the well-known ballads that make up a large portion of ‘The Great American Songbook’ has always been considered one of the highest disciplines in jazz. At first glance Nils Landgren might seem a bit out of place in the midst of this illustrious group of women. Landgren – isn’t that the guy with the fiery red trombone who continually brings the concert halls to the boiling point? Yah – that’s him. But God knows the Swedish jazz trombonist has more to offer than rock-hard, groovy funk. When it comes to ballads, Nils Landgren is an old hand. And Nils could sing practically anything.
