Vetrarjazz: DeBorah & 7Heaven (US/DK/FO)

//English below//

DeBorah er úr New York State. Hennara kærleiki til tónleik kom frá tí, ið varð spælt heima tá ið hon var yngri, millum annað Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles og Mahalia Jackson, fyri at nevna nøkur. Hon byrjaði at syngja alment tá hon var bert sjey ára gomul. Seinni flutti hon til Keypmannahavnar, har hon møtti Róin Siggertsson til ein írska jammsessión. Róin ringdi beinanvegin til Brand Jacobsen og bað DeBorah syngja acapella fyri honum. Tað gjørdi hon, og Brandur fleyg beint til Keypmannahavnar at innspæla saman við henni.

Skjótt funnu Brandur og DeBorah út av, at tey vildu innspæla eina fría jass jamm upptøku og síggja, hvat í fór at koma burturúr tí. Í upptøkuhølinum hjá Róini spældi Leivur Thomsen gittara og Mogens Palsbøl (DK) á bassi, og soleiðis bleiv bólkurin 7Heaven Minor Brandur stovnaður. Í 2004 bjóði Brandur, DeBorah til Føroya saman við Valentine Cora á gittara, Malik Jagne á djembe og Jan Zachariassen á bassi, fyri at framføra hugtakið, tónleik uttan reglur, sum eisini var íblásturin til sjálva útgávuna. Og til konsertirnar sang og dansaði Jasmin, níggju ára gamla dóttir DeBorah, eisini.

Til konsertina í Lisastovuni hittist stórur partur av uppruna manningini aftur. Afturat sær hava tey fingið roWan aka Róin Siggertsson og Arnold Ludvig, sum DeBorah hevur framført saman við í bólkinum MonkeyRat.

DeBorah is from New York State. She was inspired by many genres of music played in the household during her youth, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson, to name a few. DeBorah’s love of music began when she was very young; she began singing publicly at age 7.

Her adult life has been singing in Copenhagen, where she met Róin Siggertsson at an Irish Folk Jam. Roin immediately called Brandur Jacobsen and asked DeBorah to sing acapella for him. She did, and Brandur flew to Copenhagen to record DeBorah in 2002.

Brandur and DeBorah soon decided to record a free jazz session and see what could transpire. In Róin’s studio, with Leivur Thomsen on guitar, Mogens Palsbol (DK) on bass – 7Heaven MinorBrandur featuring DeBorah Herbert was born.

Brandur invited Deborah to come to the Faroes in 2004 along with Valentine Cora on guitar, Malik Jagne on djembe and Jan Zachariassen on bass to perform the concept of no rules in music, which inspired the album in the first place and Jasmin, DeBorah’s 9-year-old daughter, was singing and dancing as well.

Tonight the crew is getting together with roWan and Arnold Ludvig with whom DeBorah has performed alongside his lovely wife, Anna Iachino, in the band MonkeyRat.
We are happy about this and for the first time, with the majority of the musicians on the release performing it live.
