TV success! After three songs at the biggest morning tv show in Sweden magazines are in line to write about my fantastic grandmother and our cd project. We are selling records like never before and the story of my grandmother and this production is worth telling.
On Lullaby for Margareta you can hear my grandmother sing and play her own composition in swedish.
Vivan Myhrvold-Lassen is 89 years old and still going strong. She is a classically trained musician but with a blues feeling in her tunes. In the late 20?s, while still very young, she played as a silent film pianist. She might be the last one still alive who did that under "la belle epoque".
She has been married three times but her husbands have all died too early. Her first husband, my grandfather, left her with four children. In the tunes you can hear much of the sorrow and joy she has gone through. Even today she is very vital and is still composing. She has recently finished writing a cook book for 90 year olds. "Food for a 90 year old". She has also written self biographies and she is on a continual search for great poems that can inspire her to compose.
Most of you will not understand what the outstanding singer sings, but you probably will feel HOW she sings. Her name is Jessica Norberg and she is a wonderful person and one of the greatest talents I have ever heard.
The band members are up and coming on the swedish jazz and pop scene. The pianist, Andreas Landegren, has played with some of Sweden?s most famous musicians, including the swedish diva Carola, Shirley Clamp, Jill Johnsson, A-teens and many more. The pianist and the bass player has recently led the band at the Swedish television?s program Combo.
