Pernilla Caroubi Quintet is the unification of five musicians
who desire to tell the story of jazz by playing many of the greatest works
through history - with new, innovative interpretations, recreating the arrangements
to match the sounds of our time.
In celebration of George Gershwin's 100 years anniversary,
the quintet focuses on his eternal 'Porgy & Bess' - with the melodies
that broke waves on Broadway.
This masterpiece is incontestably the most deserved of
George Gershwin's successes.
The originality and the diversity of the arrangements of
Pernilla Caroubi Quintet - sometimes with Latin-Cuban influences -
strike a modern and fresh version of the classics.
The skillful musicians accompany the Danish singer Pernilla
Caroubi in such a way that this great jazz voice of hers really
blossoms.
