Birgitte Lyregaard, (born in England 1973) Is a versatile vocalist as well as a composer, lyricist and storyteller and is equally at home in the world of jazz, impro, deep pop and concert tales.
She was made at sea, born in London, grew up in Denmark and studied at the Conservatories in The Hague and Rotterdam in Holland obtaining her Jazz Vocal Master in 2004. Birgitte has returned to Denmark in spring 2011 after having lived and worked for three years in Paris, France.
Blue Anemone, the title song of the cd ”and in Danish "Den blå anemone”, is a Danish song about maintaining hope through times of darkness. Planting a seed in unfamiliar ground and thinking that the roughness and incompatibility of the surrounding elements will be the end of this fragile existance. But come spring, surprise and joy, a spot of sky blue breaks through the soil. Even stronger from resistance this beautiful flower reminds us that there is always a way up and out, no matter how impossible things may seem and that flowers can survive to spread hope and joy in even the most unlikely places.
Though today she is also active with musical projects of different genres (impro, deep pop, poetry rock) her intial love - the jazz standard - has never seized to fascinate and occupy her. So with this trio Birgitte Lyregaard (w. Alain Jean-Marie, piano and Alexandra Grimal, saxophones) gets lost in the American Book of Standards, the bare, re-defined essentials of the soul of the jazz ballads.
Recording information: Herman Van Hove's Place, Kapellen, BE (05/01/2010).
