The record
A late-'50s date pairing Swedish vocal star Alice Babs with a big-band lineup thick with that scene's finest -- Domnérus, Hallberg, Persson, Wallin among them. Swinging, brassy charts frame her light, agile voice, a snapshot of Scandinavia's tight-knit jazz world at the close of the decade.
