About
the album
Mette
Juul’s third album is inspired by her personal, musical search and
at the same time by her cooperation with the New York based trumpet
player Ambrose Akinmusire, who was also featured on her second album.
The album has become a journey into her inner self while also having
been formed by her worldwide touring. The songs have been written in
New York, Italy, Paris and Berlin and in her current home base in
Copenhagen. Mette Juul has co-produced the album with New York based
Danish piano player Nikolaj Hess, who has been in on the project from
the very first jam session to the icy cold day of recording in New
York City. His exuberance was an energizer, and his “less is more”
style of playing lends a natural lightness to the songs. The bass
player Joe Sanders (US) merges with her music and breathes freely,
the drummer Rodney Green (US) favors the brushes on several songs,
and the (US) guitarist Mike Moreno’s rhythmical sense and jazzy
tone bring the songs closer to jazz stan- dards. Ambrose Akinmusire
once again shows Juul that he has a special understanding of her
songs and her texts and is an active collaborator in telling her
stories.
There
are songs all over the world
Ever
since Mette Juul’s childhood songs have offered her a room of her
own. With this joy of singing as a loyal partner through life she has
written ten new songs for her new album: A song for her husband, a
song for each city she has visited, songs for the ocean, the nature
and the moon, a song for the Danish hamlet in which she grew up and a
song for the place between two people. The album creates a ring
around both the inner and the outer journey with a title song which
clearly states that there are songs everywhere in the world worth
listening to and people whose songs may inspire us.
