Claire Martin with the Martin Sjöstedt Trio
Nordanåteatern, Skellefteå
Claire Martin – vocals, Niklas Färnkvist – double bass, Daniel Fredriksson – drums, Martin Sjöstedt – piano
Some critics have listed Claire Martin as one of the world's four to five best jazz singers. That says something about the standard!
When she comes to Sweden, she is backed by Martin Sjöstedt's responsive trio who both arranged and accompanied her on her twentieth album in her career - Believin'it.
A few unusual jazz songs in melodic and beautiful interpretations, where bass and drums replace the piano in fine interplay with the vocals.
She has been widely acclaimed for her contribution to the development of jazz and has received numerous awards and distinctions for her music.
