Kristin Korb Trio - Opening at Klostertorvet ((DK/US))

14:00

Kristin Korb (voc, b), Magnus Hjorth (p), Snorre Kirk (drm)
Opening concert on Klostertorvet with a trio that exudes enthusiasm and cheerful musicality. American Kristin Korb plays bass and sings simultaneously as if it were the easiest thing in the world. Her award-winning backing musicians, Magnus Hjorth (piano) and Snorre Kirk (drums), complete the trio with notes and rhythms that evoke joy and relaxation. Kristin Korb released her debut album in 1996 with Ray Brown's trio, and has since performed, recorded, taught music, and lived in San Diego, Washington, and Los Angeles. Additionally, she has played a good deal of shows domestically and abroad. In 2011, love brought her to Denmark where she instantly found her way onto the Danish jazz scene. In November 2016, she released her eighth CD Beyond the Moon. She had been inspired by the stories of Johnny Mercer, one of the States' greatest lyricists. Kristin Korb covered some of his greatest hits on the CD. Additionally, she explored his unreleased material and turned some of it into songs. 'Kirstin Korb doesn't want to be inaccessible. Her thoroughly processed American jazz, where swing is the middle name, is of international calibre.' wrote Niels Overgård at Jazznyt.com.
