TINE BRUHN QUARTET (US)

Tine Bruhn Quartet (US)

The stereotype of Scandinavian jazz is of a sound equivalent to the barren, snow-swept image that the region conjures to mind, spacious, airy and cold. The New Yorker with Danish-German roots Tine Bruhn's elegant soprano certainly has a touch of the ethereal, but she brings the equivalent of a roaring fireplace with the smoky traces in her voice and its light funk grooves. After graduating at the renowned Berklee College of Music Miss Bruhn went on to pursue her dream of becoming a jazz singer in the big apple. Now based in Brooklyn, New York, Miss Bruhn has developed a mellow and graceful sophistication, a sentiment that also could be applied to South Korean pianist Min Woo Park (Jakob Park) with whom she will perform with at this edition of Vinterjazz 2018. Tine Bruhn began working with pianist and writer Jakob Park in 2014 and their artistic collaboration continues to grow. The music of Tine Bruhn Trio is the legacy of The Great American Songbook; elegant, sophisticated, mellow and lush. The two soloists will be accompanied by ex new-corker Jacob Melchior (drums) and the young up-and-coming bass player Anton Langebæk.
