ANNE LANDE & PER HUSBY
Sakte Sanger


This record is mainly a duo-project (vocal/piano), but there are lots of small surprises to go along. Outstanding musicians such as; tenor saxist Bodil Niska, trumpeter Arve Isaksen and bassist Terje Venaas, contributes.

The overall sound is naked and transparent.  The style is between jazz and folk. On some tracks, the duo is extended into a trio through the use of a double bass or a guest soloist – and on one track by a full string quintet and a trumpet.

The textmaterial is mainly in Norwegian, but for those of you who don't understand Norwegian; don’t worry – You’ll get the picture. Anne will get through to You… We promise.

GUNHILD NYBORG
“Transitions”
(PGCD 107)

Gunhild Nyborg's debut album "Transitions" finds it's place somewhere in between pop and jazz, making her music more accessible for a wider audience outside the traditonal jazz listeners.

She's accompanied by several proffesional Norwegian jazz musicians: Per Einar Watle (Christiansand String Swing Ensemble) guitars, Jens Fossum (Sigurd Köhn Kvartett, Sinatra Songbook) upright bass, Karl Strømme on trompet and Erland Dahlen (Madrugada and XPloding Plastix) drums/percussion.

The album contains several self-composed songs, but also an old French classic and Gunhild's adaption of classic standard tunes.

She stands out with her unique voice and vocal adaption.
Highly recommended!
