SINNE EEG
Sinne Eeg’s distinctive vocals have earned her a loyal and rapidly growing fan base in her native country of Denmark and around the world. Considered the preeminent jazz vocalist in Scandinavia, Sinne has already made her mark in the USA, Japan, China, and throughout Europe with her exquisite live performances and award- winning studio recordings.
Although Sinne is firmly rooted in the traditions of the great jazz vocalists like Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan, she is an artist who never settles for past modalities. She adds her own personal touch of soft darkness influenced by Scandinavian melancholy and prefers to push herself into new territories in her recordings and live performances.
Among the prizes and awards Sinne has won in her career are the Danish Radio Jazz Award, the prestigious Ben Webster Prize and the Academie du Jazz (France’s top 60 critics), one of Europe’s most distinguished awards. Sinne is also a 5 times winner...

THOMAS FONNESBAEK
Thomas Fonnesbæk is an award winning, in-demand Danish bass player who has appeared on more than 100 CDs. Through the last years Fonnesbaek has evolved to one of the best and most wanted bass players in the world playing and recording with other top artists such as Enrico Pieranunzi, Justin Kauflin, Lars Jansson, Monty Alexander and Aaron Parks.
Fonnesbaek has synesthesia, which is the ability to “see” music as colors in his mind. Combined with equilibristic skills on his instrument this make him a remarkable musician. There are no weaknesses in Thomas Fonnesbaek’s playing. A strong melodic, harmonic and rhythmic sense makes him a complete musician. As a composer he is influenced by both the Scandinavian melancholy and the American jazz tradition.
