Solveig Slettahjell Slow Motion Ensemble
(Norway)
Solveig Slettahjell makes a long awaited return to the UK for the release of her new album, Tarpan Sessions on Jazzland.
A bewitching singer who’s soulful voice is matched by a playfulness and love of words which marks her out as utterly unique.
In her native Norway Solveig Slettahjell has for some time been considered one of their most celebrated jazz singers. Her diverse repertoire - mixing country, jazz standards, with the odd song by Prince or Tom Waits thrown in – is sung in her utterly captivating and voice. Taking inspiration from the distinctive voice of fellow Norwegian Sidsel Endresen, yet strongly influenced by the gospel that filled her youth, Solveig has carved out a unique sound.
Solveig Slettahjell voice; Sjur Miljeteg – trumpet; Even Hermansen - guitar; Jo Berger Myhre - double bass and electric bass; Per Oddvar Johansen – drums
