Jeanette Lindstrom has a haunting voice and a style that at times crosses over into folk music, although she retains her connections with jazz phrasing.
For In the Middle of This Riddle, she wrote all of the music (other than the lyrics of "When Things Get Real") and, although there are occasional solos from her sidemen (with trumpeter Staffan Svensson making the biggest impression during his spots), the focus is mostly on her singing.
This is an atmospheric set that grows in interest with repeated listenings.
The lyrics are worth listening to closely.
