Tine Bruhn - Entranced (2009)

How many times have you found yourself alone on a
rainy day? And the only thing you wanted to do
was put on some good music and sit as close to
the rain, without getting wet. Maybe, you'll let
the rain hit your face. And each time it does you
smile. Relaxing? Yes! Well, that's what I did
today.

I listened to Tine Bruhn, a young Jazz singer
from Brooklyn. Already I like her cause she's
from Brooklyn. Tine has a beautiful voice that
moves so softly with the music; making you feel
all the emotions that the song was meant to
deliver. And her delivery, is like the feeling
you have right before a first kiss. The
anticipation of her next note is chilling. One of
her songs on her new album is titled “Close To
Nothing” and if you listen to any of Tine's
music, you must listen to that song. I like this
lady a lot. And she is surrounded by a splendid
band as well.

Tine Bruhn's debut album "Entranced" by Inenomis
Records is now available on CD Baby. I must get
it.

Tine Bruhn moved to New York City in 2001 after
having graduated from Berklee College of Music in
Boston. She quickly became part of New York’s
jazz scene as she started singing at “Kavehaz”
and has since performed at some of the city’s
best music venues including “The Jazz Standard”,
“The Cutting Room” and “55 Bar”. Once a month
Tine and her group of outstanding musicians
perform at the well-known jazz club “Zinc Bar” in
downtown Manhattan.



Born in 1978, Tine grew up belonging to the
Danish minority in Flensburg, Germany. At the age
of 15 she founded the a cappella group "Kvart I
Fire" which gained high recognition in Denmark
and Germany, especially after its release of the
CD "Go 4 it" in 1996. The group kept an average
of 3 performances a week during their high school
years and they were requested at many official
functions as well as private parties.
Additionally Tine sang in classical choirs
including the highly renowned semi-professional
youth choir “Landes Jugend Chor Schleswig
Holstein” and “Jugend Kammer Chor Flensburg”.
Around that time she discovered her passion for
jazz and started getting solo gigs.

In Boston she continued performing in a cappella
settings, one of them being the "Vocal Jazz
Ensemble" under the direction of Sharon
Broadley-Martin, a Vox One member. She studied
with Sheryl Bentyne (Manhattan Transfer), Walter
Beasley, recording artist, Richard Evans, Grammy
award winning arranger, and legendary scat
educator Bob Stoloff.


In April 2009 the Tine Bruhn Quartet was on tour
in Europe where they played at sold out venues
such as “B-Flat” in Berlin. A follow up tour is
being planned for the Summer of 2010 with a focus
on jazz festivals.
