First Conversation is Cécilie Norby's fourth CD on the American label Blue Note. And which one. The former poptose really estimates a mature and seductive blue tone on the seven standards on the album. On their own compositions by the way. And even on her interpretations of - in this context - so strange numbers like Police's Tea In The Sahara and Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Even on them she stays within the tight limits she herself has spelled out, and that makes the album the original work it has become. The foundations of the music are from some of today's greatest jazz musicians in Scandinavia - Lars Danielsson (bass), Carsten Dahl (piano), Per Jørgensen (trumpet) and Jon Christensen (drums). The album is also recorded with that crew. However, as the sound image turned out to be too thin, the producer added strings - from the Radio Entertainment Orchestra. The result is deeply fascinating. Rarely beautiful. And especially songs such as Kyrie, Never Let Me Go and First Conversation must be highlighted for their compositional qualities.
