The album I Saw You from 1997 presents an exciting repertoire. Eleven out of the twelve tracks are originals by Jeanette Lindström, three of them in collaboration with pianist & composer Steve Dobrogosz. We can also find lyrics written by singer & composer Lina Nyberg, and poems by Robert Creeley and Elizabeth Bishop. One of those with music by renowned Norwegian bassist Arild Andersen, originally recorded by Radka Toneff.
This is bold, mature artistry. Every piece has a distinct character of its own - a mood, a story told in words and music. The songs are performed with the mellow voice, the verve, intensity and superb technical mastery, which have made Jeanette Lindström so many people's favorite singer - a jazz musician out of the ordinary.
This is Jeanette Lindströms second album.

"Everything on I Saw You sounds quite personal, and it was obvious that Quincy Jones' praise of Lindstrom was more than justified."
