ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Cecilie Grundt and Vigleik Storaas met at the Music Conservatory in Trondheim in 2015, and have since been collaborating in several projects, above all in Cecilie Grundt Quartet. The band released their critically acclaimed album ‘Order and Chaos’ in 2020, consisting of eight original compositions. On their new album, this duo go straight to the heart of the Great American Songbook and jazz standards, the common tongue of the jazz tradition.

In their own words: “This album is unlike any other recording that we have done before because it is our first album consisting entirely of classic jazz songs. The album represents something that many people can relate to because it interprets familiar songs. Our main focus was to get the creative energy from spontaneous interplay, and for that reason some of the songs begin with a free-flow improvisation instead of the melody“.
