Here's a Swedish singer with the Bill McGuffie Quartet (musicians not identified) recorded in London in 1964.
Trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar guests on 4 tracks and Goran Pettersson plays the sandpiper on the first track. I've no idea what that is.
Monica is perhaps better known in her own country, where she recorded extensively, but she sings in an engaging style in a seductive Swedish accented English. She looks good on the photographs too.
The scans provided here exclude the lyrics to the songs, which were printed in the booklet, on the assumption that the followers of BritJazz don't go in for that sort of thing, but if you want to sing along then feel free to do so. If you don't know the words, then just hum or whistle.

Thanks, delmonico and Rodney!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see this posted here and a great album, if not quite reaching the heights of the one she recorded with Bill Evans.
ReplyDeleteNew one to me,looking forward to giving it a play,thanks demonico and Rodney.
ReplyDeleteoh joy ! what artwork ! superior singer. album with zoot. the bongos were a bad idea in this context. or any context. nice deuchar. the sandpiper -- if it exists -- seems to be a shaker. pettersson does not seem to be in the notes. swedish name. relative ? 'friend'? did he get scale ? why did morgan not double sandpiper as he was present ? all questions for future jazz historians to ponder.
