Heidi Skjerve Quintet is a fine gathering of young musicians who have already made a mark on the Norwegian and international jazz scene with groups such as: Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, The Core, Trondheim Voices and Puma to name a few.The quintet plays original compositions by Skjerve, characterized by strong melodies and great diversity of tempo, rythms and excpression. Inspired by the ever green jazz standards, vital modal jazz and singer songwriters such as Nick Drake, we have managed to create a personal sound in the Nordic landscape of pop and jazz.Heidi Skjerve Quintet..s critically acclaimed debut CD Coming Home was released in March 2006 on the Norwegian record label Curling Legs."It takes only seconds for the listener to realize that here comes something extraordinary , something doubtless and expressive. (...) Great singer, great musicians,and for each time you listen, you hear something new. Demanding and rewarding acquaintances." -Bertil Sundin, Om Jazz (Orkester Journalen)â€With her CD debut, she instantly takes place among the Norwegian elite of jazz vocalists. That means at the same time we are talking high class, even by international standards. (…) “Coming Home†is a wonderful musical manifestation.†– Puls, March 1 st 2006.Buy the CD online at:curlinglegs
