Ellen Andersson Quartet at Jazzhus Montmartre

Ellen Andersson har en af de mest karakteristiske stemmer i svensk jazz lige nu og med sin anmelderroste kvartet, er der ingen tvivl om, at hun er i topform, når hun slår vejen forbi Montmartre. Da gruppen debuterede med albummet ”I’ll Be Seeing You” i 2016, havde den svenske og danske jazzpresse svært ved at få hænderne ned. Den meget unge sangerinde og hendes fremragende medspillere, Anton Forsberg på guitar, Hannes Jonsson på bas og Sebastian Brydniak på trommer, er allerede dybt forankret i den amerikanske standard jazztradition med tydelige spor fra Billie Holiday og Nancy Wilson. Oplev Anderssons særegne evne til både historiefortælling og improvisation, når et delikat samspil mellem gruppens medlemmer spiller sig ud.
