Live Sings Sassy

A tribute to Sarah Vaughan with the Live Foyn Friis Quartet.

Concert starts: 16:00 Single ticket price: NOK 300

Live Foyn Friis from Asker has studied the old jazz singers since childhood, where she grew up in a musical home with many old jazz records on repeat.

In particular, many of the songs from the repertoire of the great Sarah Vaughan have been taken by Live to their own band. Much because she had some records such as "At Mister Kellys" etc. which she has almost listened to to death. Friis was nominated for the Danish fiddler's prize with his 4 albums in the categories Årets Vocaljazz Album and Årets special release during the Danish Music Awards. She won the title Young Jazz Composer of the Year, and on the same occasion was named Denmark's new jazz star! She has now moved back home to Norway, and can be heard with Norwegian musicians.
