Den svenske jazz-vokalist Viktoria Tolstoy blev allerede opdaget som 19-årig, og siden da har hun udgivet 11 plader og optrådt med store jazznavne som Ray Brown, Toots Thielemans og McCoy Tyner. Hun er tipoldebarn af den famøse russiske forfatter Leo Tolstoy (kendt for bl.a. ''Krig og fred'' og ''Anna Karenina''). Hun kommer til Montmartre med sit seneste album ''Meet Me at the Movies'' i bagagen, som udkom i år. Albummet har fået fremragende anmeldelser med på vejen og indeholder gæsteoptrædener af Nils Landgren og Iiro Rantala. Hun har i øvrigt udgivet musik på det legendariske pladeselskab Blue Note Records med albummet ''White Russian''. Der er lagt op til fremragende vokal jazz, når hun indtager scenen i selskab med et stærkt svensk line-up bestående af guitaristen Krister Jonsson, trommeslageren Rasmus Kihlberg og bassisten Mattias Svensson.
