Malene Mortensen at The Sound Room

About

Malene Mortensen is a Danish jazz singer with eleven albums out. Malene has recorded with some of the biggest names in modern jazz: Chris Potter, Mike Stern, Christian Sands, George
Whitty and Niels Henning-Orsted Pedersen. This year she will be on an American tour with musicians like Chad Wackerman, Jimmy Haslip, Mitch Forman and Jeff Richman.

Malene is the incarnation of what the spirits of jazz are: pursuing freedom, improvisation, cultivating an exquisite taste with a sensibility that goes deep down into gospel, soul and R&B to find and reveal new treasures. Above all this, naturally, stands her voice: warm, rich in color and expression, a voice guided by a sense of rhythm and technical mastership going from moaning, caressing, soaring, roaring, culminating with an ability to scat that leaves you speechless.
