Michelle Djarling at Vinterjazz at Vinbaren Vesterbro Torv

Michelle Djarling is a rare and beautiful rose in the Danish musical landscape. Her vocal timbre and vocal lecture is silky soft, sonorous as a soprano sax and she tells stories with a credibility and authenticity reserved for the few.

Michelle Djarling is a self-taught singer-song-writer. And the self-taught element of her musicality is perhaps what makes her a more interesting acquaintance. There is something unschooled, unpolished and surprising about her vocal timbre, phrasing and songwriting that makes her unpredictable and exciting.

Besides from knowing a good song's structure from the inside, she has also flirted with writing music for the big screen. The awareness of the musical structure is not only reflected in her music, but her whole way of carrying herself....

Michelle Djarling is a rare and beautiful rose in the Danish musical landscape. Her vocal timbre and vocal lecture is silky soft, sonorous as a soprano sax and she tells stories with a credibility and authenticity reserved for the few.

Michelle Djarling is a self-taught singer-song-writer. And the self-taught element of her musicality is perhaps what makes her a more interesting acquaintance. There is something unschooled, unpolished and surprising about her vocal timbre, phrasing and songwriting that makes her unpredictable and exciting.

Besides from knowing a good song's structure from the inside, she has also flirted with writing music for the big screen. The awareness of the musical structure is not only reflected in her music, but her whole way of carrying herself.

Michelle Djarling is an artist with an original and unique vocal, but if one really had to compare her to similar artists, one could bring up the likes of Melody Gardot, Lisa Ekdahl and Patsy Cline.

On this special occasion the singer is accompanied by a breathtaking jazz ensemble so prepare yourselves for a wonderful musical journey where jazz, pop, samba and country co-exists in a musical universe without borders. For as Nina Simone put it: "Jazz is a term invented by the whites to categorize the blacks".

Michelle Djarling er en bemærkelsesværdig, interessant og unik artist i det forførende danske musikalske landskab.

Hendes vokalklang og sangforedrag er blød som silke, klangfuld som en sopransax, og hun fortæller historier med en troværdighed forbeholdt de få.

Denne kvinde aka femme fatale er autodidakt sangerinde/singer-songwriter. Det selvlærte element i hendes musikalitet er måske netop det, der gør hende til et ekstra interessant bekendtskab. Der er noget uskolet, u(s)poleret og overraskende i hendes vokalklang, frasering og sangskrivning, der gør hende uforudsigelig og spændende.
Udover det indlysende faktum at Djarling kender en god sangs struktur og skabelon til hudløshed, har hun også flirtet med at skrive musik til det store lærred. Den musikalske formbevidsthed afspejles og reflekteres ikke kun i hendes musik, men i hele hendes måde at bære sig selv og omverden på.
Michelle Djarlings vokal er gennemsigtig og varm, men hvis man partout skal bringe sammenlignelige artister på banen, dukker navne som Melody Gardot, Lisa Ekdahl og Patsy Cline op på lærredet.
Til dette års udgave af vinterjazz er sangerinden flankeret af et særdeles velspillende ensemble, og sammen vil de tage lytterne med på en musikalsk rejse, hvor jazz, pop, samba og country skænker op for hinanden i et musikalsk univers uden grænser. For som Nina Simone udtrykte det: "Jazz er en betegnelse opfundet af de hvide for at kategorisere de sorte".
