Swedish retro jazz brought to life with charm , wit and elegance .
With humour and drive , darkness and melancholy Mimi Terris offers a lyrical and tragicomic portrayal of when life doesn ’ t go exactly to plan .
‘ I love it when comedy and tragedy meet in a comforting balance – like a Chaplin film , Astrid Lindgren ’ s stories or when Billie Holiday sings . On the surface it ’ s feel-good , but when you look closer you discover all the nuances ’ says Terris .
Mimi Terris ’ compositions move effortlessly between swing , bossa-nova , ballads , jazz-waltz and blues – genres that may have lain dormant in a Swedish vinyl collection , and in the heart . The concert is timeless and seductive , so send regards to 1940s USA , or present day Skåne , Sweden if you will .
Her natural tone , crystal-clear phrasing and subtle lyrics grab the listener , and the legacy of icons such as Alice Babs , Olle Adolphson and Monica Zetterlund is passed on in masterly style .
