A new year to come
At the end of the year we both look back and ahead ….
2011 has been a creative and successful year with several exciting encounters and formations such as:
Composing music together with singer songwriter/performer Felicia Konrad. The Magic & Music show with magician Malin Nilsson at Palatset in Stockholm. The show Tête à tête with her brother Harald Leander. Theatre Improvisation and music – a playful way to explore the present!
and Caroline’s own project, still in close collaboration with musicians Anders Lorentzi bass, Bo Håkansson drums / percussion, and Peter Tegner guitar. Soon, the recording of a new album is ready with an estimated release in September 2012.
Some partnerships have an end – the loss and grief are enormous after Caroline’s close friend and colleague, saxophonist Mette Ott that recently passed away from cancer. You find parts of their last concert from Copenhagen Jazz House here.
After three well-received performances of the musical one-act play Tête à tête with her brother Harald Leander, she has continued her French performances with guitarist Peter Tegnér. The duo has among other places played at Kronovalls Slott and at Systrarna på Solhjulet
Last year was full of creative and positive events, from the good reviews of Caroline’s new CD and well-attended concerts in among other Fasching Jazz Club and Mejeriet, to a scholarship from SKAP (Swedish composers of popular music) on the ground:
“Our ensemble makes music that strolls in a land inhabited by
dreamy Californian singer-songwriters, French entertainers
and wonderful Scanian nymphs with pockets filled with jazz.
With gentle, floating tones and subtle Scandinavian
texts, her music lifts us, carries us away and brings us home again.”

Caroline’s latest cd has been very well received by the press, most recently in the music magazine LIRA and OJ, read more!

“Under my heart” contains 12 of her personal songs, beautifully framed by tasteful arrangements with grand piano, bass, drums and percussion. Some tracks are also gilded by cello and flugelhorn, all recorded with gentle hand by David Carlsson at Gula Studion in Malmö.
