Skylark – Frokostjazz ((DK))

Birgitte Mortensen (voc), Jens Christian Kwella (g)
A perfect mix of intense jazz vocals and beautiful guitar play. With a simple soundscape, Skylark's music is characterised by intensity and intimacy, and appeals to a broad range of audiences. The good tune takes centre stage, presented on a high musical level with both feet on the ground. The repertoire is a wide selection of songs from the standard repertoire of jazz in original and new arrangements: classical swing tunes, jazz ballads, evergreens, and bossa novas, which have long been immortalised by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. Birgitte Mortensen studied at the Royal Academy of Music Aarhus / Aalborg and works with children's, youth, and adult choirs. She sings in the duo Related alongside her brother Jens Mortensen, where they perform acoustic covers of pop and rock classics. Jens Christian Kwella is a professional guitarist and an associate professor in guitar and ensemble playing at the rhythmic department at The Royal Academy of Music Aarhus / Aalborg. He has worked as a professional musician for the last 30 years. With roughly 100 gigs every year, he has played over 3000 concerts. Kwella has played nearly every genre of rhythmical music. He is currently active in the bands Entolab, Hede Hule Hot, The Butler, The Associated Professors, and Skylark.
