“Lina Lövstrand brings a new dimension to jazz.” – Dalademokraten
“Lina Lövstrand is one of Sweden’s most sought-after woodwind musicians. Her last album, Lina Lövstrand Stories, showcased her flute as the main voice throughout, demonstrating her world-class abilities as both a flutist and composer. In her follow-up album Woodwind Stories, we get to hear her shine on a range of other woodwind instruments, and in exciting arrangements featuring yet another woodwind master as a special guest for the concert—Per ‘Texas’ Johansson.” – Erik Tengholm, TengTones
