Kirsti Huke Kirsti Huke

NORSK KIRSTI HUKE Kirsti Huke er et velkjent navn og en beundret vokalist i det norske jazzmiljøet, og stemmen hennes blir omtalt som både “honningkrukke” og “kraftstasjon”. Med full harmonisk kontroll og lekende improvisasjoner tolker hun både standardjazzlåter og rock/pop på en måte som gjør materialet tidløst og friskt samtidig – “hun har evnen til å synge slik at publikum merker at det hun synger er viktig for henne” (Adresseavisen) Kirsti Huke Quartet består av Steinar Raknes, en av norges mest fremtredende bassister, som har høstet mye anerkjennelse i hele verden for sitt arbeid med Urban Connection, Chick Corea, Ola Kvernberg, The Core og Shagma. Vigleik Storås samarbeider med Kirsti for første gang i dette bandet, og har lenge vært anerkjent som pianist for internasjonale storheter som Chet Baker, Warne Marsh, Karin Krogh, Jon Christensen og Terje Rypdal. Vigleik er opprinnelig fra Bergen, og har med sin egen trio vunnet Spellemannprisen to ganger. Erik Nylander på trommer, eneste svenske i denne kurven, er også ny i kvartetten. Etter nylig avsluttede studier ved jazzlinja på NTNU er han nå aktiv med Ola Kvernberg, Kobert, og Kirsti Huke Kvartett. ENGLISH KIRSTI HUKE Kirsti Huke has become a household name in the Norwegian jazz scene. Her voice has been described as a “honey jar” and a “powerhouse” – both apt descriptions of this gifted singer´s playful and rooted approach to jazz standards as well as pop and rock songs in a quartet setting. The Norwegian music press has remarked upon her ability to “make the audience feel that what she sings matters to her” (Trygve Lundemo, Adresseavisen). Her quartet features Steinar Raknes, perhaps Norway´s premier bass player of his generation. Steinar has toured all over the world, and his daring and solid playing has laid the foundation for Urban Connection, Chick Corea, Ola Kvernberg, the Core and Shagma, getting rave reviews everywhere he travels. Vigleik Storås on piano is a new collaborator for Kirsti, and he brings to the table many years of experience from the top shelf of the European jazz scene. Previous sparring partners for Vigleik include Chet Baker, Warne Marsh, Karin Krogh, Jon Christensen and Terje Rypdal. Vigleik´s own trio has won the Norwegian Grammy (“Spellemannsprisen”) for jazz twice. The only Swede in Kirsti´s band is Erik Nylander on drums, who just completed his four-year training at NTNU´s much-lauded jazz department. Erik also plays with Ola Kvernberg and Kobert when he´s not performing with Kirsti. .
