A concert with Frida Ånnevik

Recommendation coming up: It is one of the finest concerts you'll ever be able to enjoy on your computer screen and great pastime for everyone loving smooth going and grounded music. 

This little intimate gig took already place in February and contains the songs from Frida Ånnevik's debut record Synlige hjerteslag. A record I warmly recommend. The music is a very genuine mixture of pop and jazz - you'll hear that their is not too much jazz in it, neither too much pop. The lyrics are in Norwegian and although it's very difficult for me to understand it's something I very much appreciate about this album. But I think most of all I like how the album and the songs are presented: In a solid way, not fancy or glamourous, just music performed by great musicians.


And besides of Frida Ånnevik we find many known musicians on stage (or at least their names are known to me): May K. Kaspersen & Carina Moen (vocals), Elisabeth Nesset (percussion & drumming), Torjus Eggen (bass), Mads R. Johansen (drums), Andreas Mjøs & Haldor Røyne (guitars) and Einar Næss Haugseth (keys).
