Danish jazz vocalist Sinne Eeg (pronounced sée-neh ée) opens her latest album with an original entitled “We’ve Just Begun,” but fact is that she has been performing, touring and recording for about two decades.  She comes from a musical family and is a 2003 graduate from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Esbjerg, Denmark. Her alluring voice demonstrates beautiful technique and tone as she interprets and delivers memorable lines in impressionistic songs like her own self-penned “Those Ordinary Things” and “Samba em Comum” and “Like a Song.” She can also deliver a standard like “My Favorite Things” with appealing personality and sensuality, and throughout the album we hear catchy scat singing that’s free of frills, as well as some songs sung in Danish or Portuguese.  The Danish Radio Big Band (conducted by Nikolai Bogelund) provides solid, cohesive accompaniment for Eeg’s incandescent vocalizing.  This exciting album presents plenty of dynamism and virtuosity and will help Sinne Eeeg to continue building a legion of fans around the world. An original pop offering “To a New Day” closes the set with optimism and hope. (Joe Ross, Roots Music Report)
