Sinne Eeg
Melancholy and playfulness from Denmark ’ s great jazz singer .
Spontaneity , improvisation , and the pure joy of making music are key words for Sinne Eeg . Her distinctive voice and emotional expression have won her many awards , among others the Danish Music Awards for 2014 , and she has sung her way into the hearts of audiences both at home and throughout the world . ‘ Eeg ’ s balanced sound , intuitive timing , and skilful phrasing are of a rare calibre ,’ the jury observed when she received Queen Ingrid ’ s Honorary Award last year .
Artists like Nancy Wilson , Betty Carter , and Sarah Vaughan are of profound inspiration to her as a singer while she simultaneously possesses a distinctive character and soft and melancholic darkness in her expression . Sinne Eeg also has a close relationship to Ella Fitzgerald , who would have turned 100 years this year , and she has performed a great number of songs from the repertoire of the American queen of jazz .
– When I ’ m in front of the audience I often forget myself and let go of all shyness and vanity . To me , that ’ s when the magic of the music appears , she says . d
