I had never heard of her before but Johan Lindström, one of my favorite guitarists, is in the band, along with drummer Ola Hultgren and vocalist Tobias Fröberg.

Hemmingsen plays Hammond B3 but this record is apparently a tribute to Swedish pianist Jan Johansson, who died in a car crash in 1968. He made several records of jazz versions of folk songs, of which one, Jazz på svenska (Jazz in Swedish), is still the best selling jazz release ever in Sweden (according to Wikipedia as of this writing).

What Hemmingson appears to have done is to record her versions of some of these folk songs, with her band. (Johansson's Jazz på svenska was a piano and bass duet recording.)

The result is fantastic, a richly textured and nuanced album of many moods and colors, with impeccably tasteful musical contributions by everybody.

Lindström is as subtle as ever and Hemmingsen is a thrilling discovery for this Hammond fan. Records like this are reinvigorating and inspiring.
