«Waltz For Koop - Alternative Takes» voit de grands noms de la scene breeakbeat- electro-jazz internationale revisiter avec brio les originaux de l’album de 2001





Koop est un duo suédois originaire de la ville universitaire de Uppsala, aujourd’hui installé à Stockholm et composé de Magnus Zingmark et Oscar Simonsson, auxquels s’ajoute sur cet album l’icone jazz suédoise Monica Zetterlund au chant.

Il créerent Koop au milieu des années 90 avec l’ambitieuse mission de redonnner du lustre à la scène jazz suédoise, très réputée dans les années 60 et 70.




As we learned from their last release, Koop means co-operation. The soundscape – not electronic music with a touch of jazz, but jazz sparingly laced with electronics - known to us as yet is the child of a thriving, cooperative interaction between the core duo of composers/ arrangers/ producers Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson. But the term & idea "co-operation" has now been extended to a form of "external co-operation" that takes shape in a collection of electrifying remixes embedded in an eclectic musical background and compiled on "Waltz For Koop – Alternative Takes".

Those of you who have had the pleasure of emphasising romantic, laid-back, intimate moments of 2getherness with the help of Koop’s wonderful second album “Waltz for Koop”, now have the perfect release to get your partner out of bed before breakfast. Dancing! Being familiar with Koop’s second album, one has the feeling that its magic mellowness has now been underlayed by a steady, driving, solid fundament.
