The vocalist Sinne Eeg and key player Jacob come together for 12 spontaneous tracks that illustrate dynamic interplay across both originals and interpretations.
“Losing You” opens with the graceful keys and powerful pipes radiating much beauty and eloquence, and “Hebi” follows with intimate piano and expressive scatting making for a dreamy climate.
In the middle, “A Second Chance At Love” emits a sophisticated and romantic mood that tugs on the heartstrings, while “Maria” balances minimal moments with flawless singing via the cozy setting.
Making our way to the end, “Seems Like Yesterday” places the meticulous keys alongside emotive singing that’s both relatable and memorable, and “Soba” finishes with the melodic keys and charming scatting meeting at an infectious intersection.
The sound quality is fantastic for a live recording, and really captures the pair’s chemistry as they flesh out a really genuine vocal jazz experience.
Travels well with: Jennifer Lee- Glimpse; Kristina Kollar- Walk On By
