Turn it up and Let’s Jump!
Yes, Sisters and Brothers – what you are about to hear on this album is pure and honest music with lots of joy and happiness. Just the way it should be, but seldom is.
It’s perfectly clear when you hear Sweet Emma & the Mood Swingers that they love what they do. And believe me – a grey-haired and likewise grey-bearded music journalist that’s seen and heard the most – there is nothing that can beat experienced artists when they put their hearts into a performance.
I can assure you; Sweet Emma and her groovy Mood Swingers know exactly what they are doing. They keep the melodies in focus and the harmonies in total control, which means the chord changes are solid as a rock and the improvisations soar with creativity and personality. There is no doubt that they pour their hearts into their music. And, last but absolutely not least, they know how to swing!
The charismatic lead vocal Anders Söderberg can rely on a never ending and steady back up from all the other members. Of course also from Sweet Emma, where she stands with her constantly walking bass and a fantastic smile in her pretty face. Another important thing with this band is their fabulous style. Classic outfits from the Swing era on every member make their live concerts a treat for the senses.
So, dear Sisters and Brothers – Turn it up and Let’s Jump with Sweet Emma and the Mood Swingers!
When the heat is on, promise me – don’t miss it…
