SILJE NERGAARD - Tomorrow We`ll Figure Out the Rest
On her new album Tomorrow We´ll Figure Out The Rest, Silje Nergaard has composed a collection of beautifully melodic songs inspired by classic jazz standards. Songs about life and love - universal themes that we can all relate to.
"This was my parent´s pop music, songs they sang and danced to. I grew up with this music and it became an important inspiration for me when I started to write my own songs. Jazz has always been at the heart of everything I´ve created and was the inspiration to make an album of my own personal jazz standards".
With this album, Silje returns to her jazz roots where it all began in 2001 with the Grammy nominated, At First Light, which opened the door for her on the international jazz scene.
This new collection of songs was recorded with her longtime Norwegian jazz trio and the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra with impeccable arrangements by multi-Grammy award winner, Vince Mendoza.
Silje’s trio of musicians have played a vital part in her career. All three unique and brilliant instrumentalists help to create an intimate jazz mood whilst bringing a dynamic, playful, poetic and Nordic sound to her accomplished, haunting and mesmerizing live performances.
Silje describes the bond with her musicians ‘Like family! We are instinctively in sync with each other on stage and almost breathe the same breath’
Alongside songs from the new album, Silje’s live show includes her beautiful classics such as Be Still My Heart, Tell Me Where You’re Going, Dance Me Love and Lullaby to Erle. Songs which have become synonymous with Silje and have found a special place in the lives of music fans across the world.
"I want my songs to be timeless, just like the songs that have inspired me. I want to make beautiful and heartfelt recordings that create a contrast in today´s volatile world and industry. We live in an era where things come and go and are quickly forgotten, that is why it is so important to me to maintain a high artistic level in all aspects of my work".
This is a truly remarkable collaboration – Silje and her world class trio create a unique and beautifully textured soundscape evoking memories of love, life and bygone eras. Their live show is filled with warm and tender performances which are a medicine for the heart, soul and ears leaving the audience with a truly emotional experience in which time appears to stand still for a beautiful moment.
