Description
There is a long history of women whose names and contributions have been overlooked in the history of jazz, with their second album, The Legacy of the Ladies, Sisters of Jazz once again bring those voices to the forefront - not simply as a history lesson, but as living, breathing music. This new album finds the Scandinavian sextet returning with the same six musicians behind their distinctive 2023 debut, The Hidden Ladies of Jazz. Vocalist Anna Pauline Andersson is joined by saxophonist Pernille Bevort, trombonist Lis Wessberg, pianist Catrine Ullerup Frolund, bassist Ida Hvid and drummer/percussionist Benita Haastrup.
The album presents 13 tracks, drawing on a rich repertoire of standards and compositions associated with women who have played an important role in jazz history. Among the composers and lyricists represented are Marian McPartland, Mary Lou Williams, Irene Higginbotham, Peggy Lee, Norma Winstone, Ann Ronell, Barbara Belle and Anita Leonard.
But The Legacy of the Ladies is about much more than revisiting the past. Sisters of Jazz approach this repertoire as contemporary jazz musicians, bringing their own personalities, arrangements and collective energy to every song. The result is music that respects its roots while sounding unmistakably alive in the present; sophisticated, swinging, and full of character.
