Lina Nyberg
In the fall of 2017 the final majestic part of Lina Nybergs astonishing album trilogy about humanity, the world and music itself was released – “Terrestrial” (Hoob records). Lina has composed and arranged music for symphony orchestra (and her band) on commission from the NorrlandsOperan Symphony Orchestra in Umeå. The piece had it’s first live performance at Umeå Jazz Festival in October 2017. Lina Nyberg is one of Sweden’s most creative and innovative jazz singers. For about 20 years she has been attracting consistent and widespread attention, starting with the debut in 1993 with the duo CD “Close” together with late pianist Esbjörn Svensson until now, about to release her 17th album. Since 2013 Lina has been working on this trilogy of albums, composing new music about our planet and the elements for different kinds of settings, exploring the art of instrumentation. In 2014 part one was released – “Sirenades” (music for big band and jazz quintet) and 2016 part 2 “Aerials” (music for string quartet and jazz quintet). Nyberg’s incredible command of the lyrics and music, and compelling musical vision make this ambitious storytelling project riveting. DownBeat (4 1/2 stars on “Sirenades”) “Masterful, imaginative and inspiring…” All About Jazz “The Swedish vocalists writing is stunning, especially for strings, and her singing is more personal than ever.” DownBeat magazine (5/5 on “Aerials”) “One of the most fascinating female jazz vocalists right now.” Jazz.pt Portugal

°ALL ABOUT JAZZ: April Jazz
Festival in Espoo Finland in april
2010 … one should expect
innovation and experimentation
from her, and this she supplied in
quantity with an evening of her
own quirky compositions and
banter. Her polished, witty style is
matched by her well balanced
quartet featuring the male
powerhouse of Josef Kellerdahl
and Peter Danemo on bass and
drums, and the equally quirky,
delicate piano work of Cecilia
Persson. Nyberg's writing style is
something of a cross between glee
club and post punk songstress,
described elsewhere as avant
cabaret jazz.…” ANTHONY SHAW
