Sinne Eeg Group - concert report
The jazz audience in Trondheim showed up in full when the authorities now finally opened up. Suddenly we sat close together and there was a tense atmosphere in the room when Ernst Wiggo Sandbakk quickly and informatively welcomed the audience back and "Jazzfest Exclusive" could welcome Sinne Eeg Group - after four canceled attempts!
They opened with a hefty version of "My Favorite Things". Full of tempo changes and nice vocal details. Sinne Eeg is not a singer who closes her eyes and "goes into herself". No, she addresses the audience directly almost as an actress. There is communication without facts and the text is articulated clearly. She turns and twists tones, words and phrases and really plays with text and melody. They calmed down a bit with "The Beauty of Sadness", (text: S. Eeg) and it struck me that she has this ability to capture the mood of a song / text and keep it for a long time. The audience was fully present and you could hear the famous pin. The drummer took out the brushes and now it worked better acoustically as well.
