Lisa Ekdahl - At The Olympia, Paris (2011) CD-Rip

In the winter of 1994 Lisa Ekdahl was brought into superstardom over night in scandinavia. Lisa's debut album sold quadruple platinum and gave her three grammy awards. Her laid back style, matched with her fragility and sensitivity has dazzled fans and critics alike.
Several European countries and especially France has fallen for her understated way of performing jazz standards, bossanova and original songs. Still few people know much about Lisa's life and few know that she creates and records her music in a tucked away house across a courtyard in central Stockholm. She has never let a journalist or a TV-team cross her doorstep.
In the DVD documentary "Lisa Ekdahl at the Olympia, Paris" Lisa opens the door to her universe. The film is maybe one of the most beautiful and artistically genuine Swedish music documentary ever made. This DVD contains songs from the Olympia mixed with Lisa meeting with friends, getting into conversation and playing songs in her home in Stockholm. In Paris Lisa plays a sold out show at the legendary L'Olympia. The CD is a recording of this show.
The Olympia concert (CD and DVD) was the grand finale of Lisa Ekdahl's critically acclaimed European tour 2009-2010 that followed the release of the album "Give me that slow knowing smile".
The band consists of: Mathias Blomdahl (guitar and percussion), Tomas Hallonsten (Piano, Hammond organ & Trumpet) and Josef Zackrisson (Bass). Lisa will tour again summer & fall 2011.
