?Aerials? by the composer and jazz singer Lina Nybergs is full of music about the world, the elements and the music itself. Lina sings of airplanes, pilots, winds and astronauts. The record includes commissioned work for string quartet as well as poetic and expressive interpretations of jazz standards as ?Fly me to the moon? and ?Bye bye Blackbird? with her regular band. For about 20 years she has been attracting consistent and widespread attention, and became one of the strongest voices in Swedish Jazz. A unique singer, composer and lyricist that both touches the audience and has a strong sense of humour.
