A Real Crooner!

Pop with jazzy, a sometimes slightly melancholic touch, but also with humor within reach. Patrick Rydman belongs to the rare kind of singers that merges jazz with other genres in a completely natural and magnificent manner.

Patrick Rydman releases the album I Will Do It on the Gothenburg-based label Footprint Records. Patrick is a rare occurence on the Swedish musical scene: A male jazz singer of the younger generation who furthermore writes his own material. The music sounds like ”poetic singer/songwriter jazz with strong pop sentiments and a little bit of circus” according to Patrick himself. Influenced by songwriters like Bacharach, Jobim, Paddy McAloon, Bill Withers and Joni Mitchell, raised on pop songs and tunes from the Great American Songbook, the resulting mix is Patrick's own: melodic, personal, groovy, intimate and full of variation.

He is backed up by some of Sweden's hottest musicians: Fabian Kallerdahl (MusicMusicMusic, Galore) on keyboards, Josef Kallerdahl (MusicMusicMusic, Josef & Erika, New Tango Orquesta) on bass, Henrik Cederblom (Sofia Karlsson, Freddie Wadling, Den Fule) on guitar and Miko Rezler (Stefan Andersson, Magnum Coltrane Price, Valdemar) on drums. Other guests include Lisen Rylander (Midaircondo) on sax and vocals, Malin Dahlström (Midaircondo, Disdishdance) on vocals, and Johan Håkansson (Ebbot Lundberg, Timo Räisänen, Daniel Lemma) on drums.

Patrick Rydman has been seen and heard on the Gothenburg music and theater scene for the past 15 years. He is a singing, composing and arranging member of the vocal ensemble Amanda with numerous shows in Sweden and abroad and two Swedish Grammy nominations to their credit. He has produced and written songs for other artists, worked as a theater musician and composer for the stage and radio, sung Burt Bacharach-hits in the cult show The Missing Fortnight and been featured vocal soloist with Bohuslän Big Band in several productions. I Will Do It is his debut as a solo artist.
