Francoise Hardy
Francoise Hardy has such a gentle, relaxed singing style that can bring on a strong unexplainable feeling of nostalgia. THE superb Ye-Ye girl!

Eva Dahlgren
Eva Dahlgren has a powerful yet soothing voice that sometimes seems to spring from the depth of her soul. A great example is "Jag klaer av mig naken".

Burt Bacharach
Who can possibly resist the songs and music of the talented, prolific Burt Bacharach? His tunes are lively and just put a big smile on your face! Just listen to "Italian Fuzz" from the film "After the Fox"!

Mecano
This Spanish band has such a wide range in their repertoire - from ballads, to dance to pop. "Hijo de la luna" is such a beautiful ballad, that even the great Spanish Catalan operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe did a cover version of it!

The Modern Jazz Quartet
Cool and bluesy, there is not a single piece by MJQ that I don't like. This is elegant jazz! Listen to "Autumn Breeze" and you'll know what I mean.

Francoise Hardy - Cocktail Collection
I've had this album for about 15 years and NEVER ever tire of it! The melodies and lyrics always evoke good memories.

Eva Dahlgren - Fria vaerlden 1.989
My very favorite song on this album is "Raeds ej natten" (Don't be afraid of the night). Even if you don't speak Swedish, the melody is hauntingly beautiful, and Eva's voice is warm.This is a great album!

Marion Maerz - Burt Bacharach Songbook
This is a new favorite of mine. Marion Maerz has a lovely voice. Hearing Burt Bacharach's songs sung in German may jar you at first, but I currently prefer Marion's covers to the English originals.

Henry Mancini - Breakfast at Tiffany's
What a great soundtrack! Even when you're alone, you'll feel happy and kick up your heels!

Cal Tjader - Ultimate Cal Tjader
I can listen to the music of this master of Latin jazz over and over again! His melodies just flow and make me think of balmy tropical evenings. My favorite is "Leyte". It's a gorgeous piece.
