Judith Nijland grew up among the farms in the Dutch countryside. She began her musical career by singing during her long bike rides to school. She studied classical piano and moved to the west coast of Holland. There she graduated in Greek and Latin languages. During this study she became acquainted with jazz music.  After her graduation, Judith decided to follow her heart into the music. She studied jazz singing at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and began immediately to follow her own path in this field. She sung during this time in various jazz and pop bands, in and outside the Netherlands and performed on stage with many famous jazzartists.  After completing her study at the conservatory, Judith started writing her own compositions in which the emphasis lies in the combination of various styles of music with her own distinct style. With a freshness of her generation, her songs sound familiar and surprising at the same time. Her style varies from swinging jazz standards to jazzy pop songs and beautiful bossa novas.  Judith released five albums: A Jazz Tribute to ABBA | 2016 Trav’lin’ Light | 2013 Four Zero | 2011 Suitcase of Songs | 2006 The Beautiful Reality of Life | 2003 She got great reviews, lots of airplay on national radio and has been touring in her own country, but also played her music in New York, London, Switserland, Sweden, Germany, Italy and Thailand. https://musicians.allaboutjazz.com/judithnijland

“It has taken me 40 years to appreciate ABBA. Coming of age in the 1970s, I was opposed to Disco and Disco-related music. The music, of course, didn’t give the least damn what I though and still permeated my delicate musical psyche to the point that it became an integral part of my young adulthood. How ABBA would translate into the language of jazz might be best not considered. However, Dutch vocalist Judith Nijland had no such compunction, arranging a dozen of ABBAs songs into this tidy, well-programmed package. Using a standard acoustic jazz ensemble, Nijland ably transforms the ABBA songbook. This could have been one of those ambitious projects that so often go so wrong. But Nijland pulls it off, making “Waterloo,” “Head Over Heels,” and “Dancing Queen” sound fresh and new. Danny van Kessel proves the ideal catalyst to Nijland overt musicality. His playing is sparkling and sharp, directing the course for Nijland. Those of you, who are of a “certain age” enjoy this! ~All About Jazz, C. Michael Bailey
