In the spring of 2003 the album of Anders Widmarks own compositions was released with lyrics sung by Sara Isaksson. With Sara’s straight forward, natural interpretation, there is a musical meeting, which takes a grip on its listeners. On the album it proves to be very close teamwork leaving space both for flexibility and improvisation. “We are close to pop songs, but the music is performed by jazz musicians with acoustic instruments”, Anders says. It is music for both pop and jazz lovers.
