Melodious compositions, Nordic roots, and American jazz tradition. Peter Vuust is the unique combination of a deeply respected musician and a world-class neuroscientist, as he is the leading expert in the field of Music In The Brain. Irresistible and highly-focused Veronica Mortensen, one of our best singers, has a warm and no-nonsense approach to jazz. Her voice is unencumbered and relaxed, and she performs in a uniquely intimate manner. Over time, the collaboration between Peter Vuust Quartet and Veronica Mortensen has resulted in a good deal of concerts and a few record releases. The most recent, September Song from 2013, with music written by Vuust, received great praise and was nominated for a DMA in the category Danish Vocal Jazz of the Year. The compositions are melodious and the Nordic roots clearly audible alongside influences of American jazz tradition. Their follow-up Songs for Sadness appears this August, and features music by Vuust and lyrics by the Norwegian poet Roy-Frode Løvland, who wrote melancholic and lyrical poems based on his sister's fight with cancer. The CD will explore and unfold the Nordic tone, which is characterised by a certain type of melancholia, where sad songs don't necessarily make you sad. On the contrary, they may help you overcome tough times. Peter Vuust brings along the fabulous Swedish pianist Lars Jansson. His unique touch to his instrument has made him one of Scandinavia's most important pianists, and one of the best composers and arrangers.
