-chamber jazz with space and birds

Vindla String Quartet commenced their collaboration with Lina Nyberg in 2014 when they commissioned Lina to write music for string quartet and voice. The CD Aerials was released in March 2016 as the second part of Lina’s trilogy about the elements and refer to space, birds and air. In Lina’s own words:

“When I released my last CD The Sirenades (Hoob records 2014), on which my music for big band was performed, I knew that it would be the first CD in a row of three. I was trying to describe my reality through pictures of cyber-seas, monsters and waves. Now part two, Aerials, takes us away to avians and aviators.”

The CD has received great reviews in Sweden as well as abroad and was followed by a much praised tour.

All About Jazz: “Masterful, imaginative and inspiring.”

jazznyt.dk: “Aerials is an investigative and imaginative album, and with comprehensive, imaginative and inventive notes it sends us out to fly like birds, spaceships and airplanes. It is a bold and artistically strong album from a singer without equal in Scandinavia right now.”
