about

JazzSpecial: The young talented vocalist Cathrine Legardh is releasing her first jazz CD on Storyville. She is a young fragile woman with a big voice like "one of the red hot mamas". She has chosen tunes from the American songbook among others: For All We know, My Ideal and I'll Be Seeing You. She also sings Once Upon A Summertime - Monica Zetterlund's big success and she salutes Charlie Parker with Confimation and Now's The Time. Cathrine is accompanied by award winning Scottish pianist Brian Kellock, Jacob Fischer on guitar and Hugo Rasmussen on bass. Furthermore Tom McEwan plays on washboard on one track and Francesco Cali on accordion on two tracks. Cathrine is touring in connection with the release with this set up and during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival you will also be able to hear Cathrine on various venues

‘Cathrine Legardh, the Danish singer with the smoky, sultry voice, takes you into emotional places and makes you part of her world.’ Edinburgh International Jazz Festival, (The Lot), UK 2008 ’What a relaxing way to spend a summer evening. Cathrine Legardh's deep, clear voice was utterly soothing and most impressive when she put extra power behind it. The quartet's rolling jazz had us tapping our feet and Brian Kellock's honey-sweet ramblings on the piano brought out the best in Cathrine's lilting Danish accent... Between pretty love ballads, it was particularly refreshing to have the band chitchatting to the audience in an unassuming way, introducing favourite songs, and jostling each other. Alongside such easy-listening, the music was nicely spiced with a few Danish and Swedish songs. It's safe to say that this charming show left its audience warm and wanting more.’ - Unlimited / Three Weeks (The Edinburgh Festivals), UK Aug. 2008

QUOTES:

‘Pomegranate Arts In the Bar goes international with this Danish vocalist. Singing in English and her native tongue, Cathrine's beautiful, full and rich vocals sparkle regardless of the language.’ Promengranate Theatre Sheffield, UK Oct. 2006 ‘A Danish-Norwegian singer with relatively conventional repertoire, Legardh is nevertheless not easy to summarise. She doesn’t really sound like anybody. She has a quirky timbre (intonation too at times)...’ - Jazzwise, UK Aug. 2008

‘Brian Kellock, one of the unsung heroes of Scottish jazz and one of the best jazz pianists in Europe plays with Danish singer Cathrine Legardh, whose smoky sultry voice works perfectly with Kellock's mastery of the keys.’ - BBC News|Scotland, UK July 2008

A lovely singer with a beautiful sound - and a very special talent.’ - Sheila Jordan, New York 2006.

‘A new young vocalist, well on the way to finding her own form of subdued jazz tone, with inspiration from Chet Baker, Monica Zetterlund and Shirley Horn… Like Nancy Wilson her tone can melt seamlessly into the group’s sound...’ - Radio Jazz, DK, 2006.
