Koop means co-operation and come from a universe where Miles Davis never made Bitches Brew, replacing swing with funk, but instead double basses kept walking and jazz kept swinging all the way until the sampler arrived to chop it up. Not electronic music with a touch of jazz, but jazz sparingly laced with electronics.

What's really co-operating in Koop's music, apart from the core duo of composers/arrangers/producers Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson with their wide range of collaborators, is the sixties vocaljazz-magic of Swedish icon Monica Zetterlund with a producer-focused 2001.
