The project began in 2014; when jazz singer; composer and lyricist Anna Pauline; as a bandleader; was commissioned to put together a band consisting solely of female musicians for a concert during International Women's Day. The concert; which was a great success; led to the formation of the current Sisters of Jazz. This debut album consists of 13 tracks; one of them sung in Danish and another in Swedish. On this recording; they embark on a musical journey that celebrates and pays tribute to the contributions of oft-forgotten female jazz composers and musicians like Nancy Hamilton; Ann Ronell; Marian McPartland and Mary Lou Williams - just to name a few! Many of these female musicians are incredibly important stylists in jazz; who in turn paved the way for others and have been mentors to several of the jazz icons considered role models of jazz; : Miles Davis; Dizzy Gillespie; Coltrane and many others. Sisters of Jazz brings together six remarkable women; who share an unwavering passion for jazz music. Individually; they have won accolades and garnered attention for their exceptional talents; but it is their collective energy that truly sets them apart. Their unique blend of musical prowess and unwavering dedication to highlighting the hidden ladies of jazz; who may not have received the proper limelight during their lifetime; is quite frankly inspiring. Beyond paying homage to the underappreciated female jazz legends; Sisters of Jazz aim to contribute to the evolution of jazz music in the modern era. With their collective musicianship and individual voices; Pauline; Bévort; Wessberg; Frølund; Hvid and Haastrup are breaking barriers and redefining what it means to be women in jazz. Their performance on this album is characterized by fearless exploration; pushing the boundaries of convention; and embracing the freedom of expression that jazz offers. Through their interpretations of the works of the composers covered on this project; the ensemble showcases their profound respect for jazz history while bringing a fresh perspective to their compositions. Sisters of Jazz's commitment to celebrating the female jazz composers and their inspiring approach to jazz has garnered the attention of critics and audiences alike.
