Songs by Leadbelly arranged by Lundin (except one tune composed by Lundin)
Leadbelly’s music came into my life a long time ago, when a friend gave me a cassette copy of the jazz album “These Are my Roots”- Clifford Jordan Plays Leadbelly. The songs, as well as the way they were treated by the musicians, made a profound impression on me. And Leadbelly’s music has stayed with me ever since.
On “Belly-Up” I’ve wanted to focus on Leadbelly’s own songs. To me they represent the original song, something so basic and true that anyone anywhere will be able to relate to them.
“ Lundin has dedicated each tune to a distinguished American jazz musician such as Richard Davis, Clifford Jordan, Paul Bley, Dr. John, Gil Evans and Charles Mingus. “I’ve dedicated the tunes to these people because they have all contributed to my music and to the birth of the cd, for instance with details which have inspired my arrangements of the songs.”
