CHOC in JAZZMAN (France) - OCTOBER ISSUE
Face The Music by Sinne Eeg BEST CD of the month: "Amongst scandinavian jazz singers, the ones from Denmark are in a good position. If we already know Caecilie Norby or Katrine Madsen, the one who is the perl of Copenhagen is still to be discovered for a lot of people.

On one side, she refreshes the jazz standards and on another side she "jazzify" her own compositions ( incidentally very well written).

From the exciting Let's Face the Music and Dance to a Caravan reinvented in a duet with bass player Thomas Fonnesbaek, there are no weak points amongst these 11 carefully selected titles witch let us waiting for the 12th to come. As if the magic of music had once again happened… "
