Previous she had been performing in
Aarhus with Gotan Project and she had great experience from the stages in
France where she has been living for a number of years.
But she had never performed in her
own name on stage in Denmark. That’s why she made the inevitable and extremely
charming mistake when she opened her mouth to speak in the microphone for the
first time: ‘Bon soi…’ Which very quickly was changed to Danish: ‘God aften.’
It was a good night with French
musicians and a beautiful jazz violin.
Since then Stunt has released the CD
Dream from 2009 and now Dancing on Air.
She uses French musicians exclusively
(only one exception – Lars Danielsson, bass). Line Kruse is both the arranger
and composer.
There is a modern fusion-feeling in
the music, which isn’t weird since this genre has had a better life in France
than in Denmark.
She doesn’t hold back the effects on
the first half of the album where a number like Smoke has a delicious-funky-club-feeling.
It comes right after Wandering Winds
which is highland-filmscore-music from Scotland – a very inappropriate and weak
number on a fine album.
Line Kruse has a gentle side too.
The beautiful and clarified version of Eric Satie’s Gymnopedie no. 1 must be
mentioned.
Modern jazz violin is still relevant.
Thanks to Line Kruse.
