With present lyrics, a style-conscious, strong artistic expression and a great
love for the jazz tradition, Anna Stæhr Trio reaches out and creates a new
expression within vocal jazz. The trio takes the audience into a captivating and
clear universe, where lyrics and melodies meet and lift each other.
“With Stæhr, expression and format were cut to the bone and the big things
showed in the small things. It was the details that made the difference and
lifted the concert and the musical expression.
Here, the ballad as an art form was developed consistently, but the material
never became static. That was precisely jazz. Solo passages from bass and
piano naturally slipped into the expression together with Stæhr's phrasing and
you could feel that something was at stake. It was not a display of technique,
but technique used to express emotions – with and without words.” - Jakob
