Jean-Simon Trio/Elin Wrede: Djupa Andetag (Prophone Audio CD)

• Following on from Rhythm With A Pinch Of Something (released on Prophone in 2006), Djupa Andetag or Deep Breaths is the next CD by The Jean-Sion Maurin Trio.

• Jean-Sion Maurin wrote on working with Elin Wrede: “We met by accident. I had started to think about how to move on after my début with “Rhythm With A Pinch of Something”. One idea had taken root in me – vocal jazz. In Swedish with lyrics that really mean something. She had an absolutely perfect feeling for words and the timing was there too. As well as a sense of playfulness. Writing the songs went very rapidly and Elin had the task of trying out my first drafts – which were not always such a success. When the music felt right we sent them off to our wonderful writing team for the lyrics. This mixture of Swedish/French swinging jazz was then refined together with Martin and Lars. It’s magical. And here is the result. These are the Deep Breaths.”
