Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen is compared to Billie Holiday as a jazz singer, to Marilyn Monroe in visuals and Edith Piaf as writer, and shows how jazz and chanson merge together. Her music is filigree arranged, modern jazz, characterized by the playfulness of her great fellow musicians, which shows how inspiring music history can be: swinging, seductive, close. The Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen Orchestra radiates casual elegance from the first to the last note.

LINE-UP: Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen (voc), Anders Aarum (key), Jens Fossum (bs), Hermund, Nygård (dr, perc), Svein Erik Martinsen (g)
