Taken from the official Festival programme:
Danish singer Cæcilie Norby was born into a musical home. Her mother, an opera singer, and her father, a composer, supported her musical education from an early age. Jazz was not her first love, though. After a classical education she turned to pop music in the early eighties and had some considerable success with the band OneTwo.
Ten years later the renowned Blue Note label released her self titled jazz debut, starring none other than Chick Corea. For later productions she cooperated with the likes of the Brecker Brothers, Terri Lyne Carrington, Nils Landgren or Palle Mikkelborg.
Her latest cd, Arabesque, shows yet another of her facets, reminiscent of composers like Satie, Debussy, Ravel and Fauré. Together with her recent ensemble, the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry)-awardee will once again leave the boundaries of classical music, jazz or pop behind.
