Biography

Award-winning Danish jazz vocalist and songwriter — warm, dark-toned and fearlessly improvisational.

 

Sinne Eeg (sée-neh ée) is one of Scandinavia’s most distinctive jazz artists, with a career spanning Europe, Asia and the United States. Her music moves between classic vocal jazz, original songwriting and a contemporary Nordic sensibility.

 

Her music belongs on any stage: the close dialogue of a duo or quartet, or the full sound of a big band or symphony orchestra. She has appeared at venues including The Kennedy Center, the Jarasum Jazz Festival and Cotton Club Tokyo.

 

Her recordings include Shikiori, recorded in Japan with pianist Jacob Christoffersen, Dreams from New York and We’ve Just Begun with the Danish Radio Big Band. Her song “Aleppo” won the Carl Prize for Song of the Year, and her honours include multiple Danish Music Awards, the Danish Radio P2 Jazz Prize, the Ben Webster Prize and Queen Ingrid’s Honorary Grant.

Quotes & Reviews

“Learn to say this name: It’s pronounced “Seen-uh Eeg.” The Danish jazz singer, an established star in Europe, checks all the boxes; burnished tone, perfect intonation, swing, unerring taste and an adventurous streak. She is a complete musician who, remarkably, also has a gift for interpreting lyrics in a natural, conversational way.”

– Allen Morrison, Downbeat Magazine ★★★★1/2

“So many superlatives have been showered upon Danish singer Sinne Eeg that you wonder whether anyone could be that good – or was this yet another case of flawless but cold perfection? Well, this album says she’s certainly that good. She has an attractive, flexible voice, sings and writes songs in two languages, and improvises perfect wordless scat… The 10 tracks are filled with fascinating orchestral textures, dotted with brief but tasty solos.”

– Dave Gelly, The Guardian

“The news that Sinne Eeg is a much-admired jazz vocalist in Denmark might not grab many front pages, but the prizewinning 40-year-old is a genuine original and her stock is growing. A singer of laidback improv alertness and coolly lustrous tonality…”

– John Fordham, The Guardian
