Sidsel Storm

Prize winning Danish jazz singer Sidsel Storm is at this moment working on the completion of her 4th album, to be released in 2014. In conjunction with the recording of the new album, Storm is enjoying a busy year of live performances – the discipline that first gained her enormous popularity both in Denmark and worldwide. Songs from the Soul Sidsel Storm's new album remains true to the modern, airy vocal jazz for which she is known, presenting the listener once again with an ear catching, whimsical expression and vocal style combining the best of jazz and pop. The album's music and lyrics are composed by Storm herself, in cooperation with song writer/producer Peter Otto. Together they have created an emotive, lyrical universe in which Storm, who gave birth to a son in October 2010, beckons the listener into her deepest feelings and thoughts. “Having composed most of the songs on the album myself, it follows that it is my most personal so far, drawing on inspiration from my own life. The songs address everything from the emptiness that comes with the loss of a loved one, to being blessed with the greatest gift life has to offer.” This long awaited release sees Sidsel Storm gather an abitious group of recognised musical talents from the Nordic jazz scene. It consists, among others, of pianist Magnus Hjorth, drummer Snorre Kirk, bassist Jesper Thorn and Tobias Wiklund on trumpet and flugelhorn. They have performed live together over many years, both in Denmark and internationally, a close collaboration that shines through on the album. From Copenhagen to Tokyo Despite her youth, Sidsel Storm is already sought after in the international music scene, where critics praise her ability to capture audiences with her warmth, engaging melodies and powerful voice. In increasing demand since the release of her debut album 'Sidsel Storm' in 2008 and 'Swedish Lullaby' in 2010, Storm has, among other things, appeared on the cover of the Japanese jazz magasine Jazz Perspective and performed to full houses in USA, Germany, Thailand and Sweden and most recently at the mini-festival 'Le Jazz Danois' in Paris, where an enthusiastic audience met The Sidsel Storm Quintet with a standing ovation. Success brings with it obligation, and life continues in full swing for Sidsel Storm, who from her base in Dragør is planning a longer Danish and international tour in conjunction with the release of the new album. www.myspace.com/sidselstorm itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/nothing-in-between/id545428708?uo=4 cdon: http://cdon.dk/musik/sidsel_storm/nothing_in_between-21190152 imusic: http://www.imusic.dk/cd/5706725101262/sidsel-storm-2012-nothing-in-between-cd
