Paul ‘Ekke’ Fagerlund

I would like to dedicate my Cadillacs & Moonlight CD to the memory of Paul 'Ekke' Fagerlund, who passed away on 3 July 1994. During our 16-year collaboration, 'Ekke' taught me much about the art of arranging. His knowledge of music was unsurpassed and, as an arranger and conductor, 'Ekke' was afforded enormous respect among musicians and other professionals in the music business. I found that working with Ekke was remarkably effortless in that we both had the same thoughts and aspirations about what was needed in the songs, and had a mutual perception of what the outcome of the music should be. I am only too glad that I had the opportunity to work with 'Ekke' and to record some 50 songs with him, through which his ideas will always remain alive.
