A new star in Jazz?

I went to the library here in Oslo a couple of days ago. I brought home a CD from the jazz department called "Glittercard". The artist is Torun Eriksen. I'd never heard her name and thought it could be interesting to listen to some new music. I was really surprised. Her voice is rich and warm and the music is both innovative and interesting. There are some voices that have a quality that makes you want to listen to them for hours: Eva Cassidy, Randy Crawford, Norah Jones, Sidsel Endresen, Silje Nergaard, Al Jarreau, Sarah Vaughn and others have that kind of quality in their voices. Now there's a new person to add to that list: Torun Eriksen. Visit her homepage for a little taste of what she has to offer: http://www.toruneriksen.no/ - or best of all: Buy her album!
