Johanna Pettersson - The Show Must Go On (2021) Hi Res

It was a cold day in January 2021 that I started preparing the album. Amanda Ginsbury's "The Little Things (I det lilla händer det mesta)" (Ladybird 79556855) pianist Philip Ekestube worked on the composition of the program and once studied to learn composition "American"・ Mainly on the songs of "Songbook", I chose songs that reflect the colorful appearance of "woman".

"The Party's Over", first sung by Judy Holliday and covered by Nat King Cole and others. "Too Late Now" was sung by Jane Powell in the movie "Royal Wedding" (Japanese title "Royal Wedding"), which was said to have been composed by Burton Lane with Judy Garland in mind.

The temptation song "Whatever Lola Wants" sung by the witch Laura in the musical "Kutabare! Yankees". "Don't Rain on My Parade" from the musical "Funny Girl" starring Barbra Streisand. "I Must Have That Man" sung by Billie Holiday. The recording session took place on April 14th and 15th at the studio in Stockholm.

Ekestubbe's piano, Adam Ross's drums from the Christian Jormin Trio ("See the Unseen" LOS 259-2), Thomas Sjödell's bass from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, and "As Knights Concur" ("As Knights Concur" ( PCD 083) Peter Asplund's trumpet that made albums such as "All my Septembers" (PDC 205).

She says that co-starring with Johanna's deeply respected and talented musicians was her greatest and most rewarding musical experience of her life.
