New Orleans (2010)

Album uit 2010 van Zweeds kwartet. Zoals de titel al doet vermoeden, vonden de opnamen plaats in New Orleans. De aanduiding 'orkest' in de bandnaam is dus enigszins misleidend. Wel zijn er 5 gastmuzikanten te horen, waaronder een blazerssectie. "Trying to sound as if rock & roll had never existed, Bo Kaspers Orkester managed to become one of the best-selling Swedish bands of the '90s. They were formed in 1991 and took parts of the name from front figure Bo Sundström. In 1993 they released "Söndag I Sängen", which mixed of pop and jazz influences, with heavy lounge tendencies. Easy listening was soon to have a half-ironic revival, and though Bo Kaspers Orkester was associated to this trend, their music was more jazzy, not ironic, and the lyrics were far too narrative (and good) to be called easy listening. The band did not sound like any other bands at that time and also got a good push through radio and being the orchestra of a popular TV show." (Lars Lovén, Allmusic)
