Description

[Machine Translation] One of the best female jazz vocalists from Scandinavia! The opener "I Thought About You" swings and runs with Irene's light scatting, and the jazz ballad "Sweet Surprise", a cover of Blossom Dearie's beautiful voice, enchants with its transparency that is typical of Scandinavian music. The standout track is a jazz ballad, "Sweet Surprise," a cover of Blossom Dearie. The highlight of the album is a cover of "The Real Guitarist In The House," a song by Steve Kuhn that seems to have been based on a vocal version by Monica Zetterlund. This is a long-awaited reissue of a song that has been hard to find since it was not released on CD or analog until the 2000s.

Description in Japanese

スウィート・サプライズ / イェレーヌ・ショグレン・クインテット

北欧産女性ジャズ・ヴォーカル最高峰の一枚! Ireneによる軽やかなスキャットを乗せてスウィングしながら疾走するオープナー「I Thought About You」、Blossom Dearieのカヴァーで美しい歌声に魅了されるジャズ・バラード「Sweet Surprise」など、北欧らしい透明感にあふれた曲が並ぶ。中でも白眉は、Steve Kuhnの曲でMonica Zetterlundによるヴォーカル・ヴァージョンを元にしたと思われる「The Real Guitarist In The House」のカヴァー。スウェディッシュ・ジャズ・ボサの最高峰と言える、SUBURBIA～Cafe Apres-midiクラシックとしても知られる一曲。CD、アナログ共に2000年代以降のリリースはなく入手困難となっていた中での待望のリイシュー!
