Strange but beautiful
The music of Sofia Jernberg (left) and Cecilia Persson is unlike anything else. It is distorted and fragmented but has a strange beauty to it. It is like rolling over all the frequencies on a radio receiver, listening to a lot of odd words and noices. The occasional twinkling of a piano. All of a sudden you stop to listen to a station with funny marimba, tuba and bass clarinet music.
Sofia and Cecilia sang and played, respectively, with their sextet on this year’s Umeå Jazz Fewstival. Much to short beacause everyone wanted to go and listen to some big shot on the main stage. Sofia was also awarded the festival’s main sponsor’s travel grant this year. Very well deserved.
