Clara Vuust - A Winter Tale (2015)

A year ago in the fall of 2014, I went to the studio with some of my my favorite musicians Francesco Calì, Nico Gori, Jeppe Holst and Andreas Hatholt to record my second album. The project started many years ago when Francesco, Jeppe and I toured Danish churches doing concerts with new arrangements of old Danish traditionals and hymns. These arrangements evolved over time, and when Nico Gori added his beautiful clarinet to the mix - we decided to record an album solely devoted to this these old songs. I grew up singing all the songs that you find on my new album "A Winter Tale". But with the new arrangements by Francesco Calì the music comes to life in a different way. The melodies are the same, but everything else completely different. The idea was to bring the songs into a new setting with modern jazz reharmonisation without ruining, yet rather underlining, the feeling of the original tune.
