The critically acclaimed Softer Than You Know, which was nominated for the DMA Awards and awarded fantastic reviews, has already reached 500,000 streams. The album – and thus the concert – contains beautiful, melancholic melodies, composed by pianist Frans Bak and with lyrics by Helle Hansen.
Frans Bak has written the songs with Sinne Eeg in mind. He loves the impressive depth and incredible presence that her voice brings. The melodies are a distinctive, musical experience that crosses genres and elegantly moves freely between jazz and pop.
Frans Bak is one of the most seasoned and productive musicians in Denmark. He has written music for the TV series Nikolaj & Julie and Forbrydelsen, among others. Sinne Eeg captivates audiences in most of the world with his virtuoso singing, his “dark”, Scandinavian expression and his always charming stage performance. Hans Ulrik is known as the first tenor saxophonist in the DR Big Band, but he also performs regularly with Lars Jansson and his own quartet.
We look forward to seeing you in Frodes Folkehus for a fantastic Jazz Festival...
