Cecilie Grundt - Night Towards Day (Live at Nesodden Jazzklubb, Norway - February 26, 2025) (2026) [Hi-Res]

Recorded on 26 February 2025 at Nesodden Jazzklubb, Norway, this live album captures the Cecilie Grundt Quartet at a moment of exceptional musical cohesion. The concert marked the final performance of a longer tour, and the interplay reflects a band performing at its absolute peak — listening deeply, responding instinctively, and shaping the music with a shared confidence built on the road.

The set unfolds with the freedom and immediacy that only a live stage can offer — from the open, time‑free landscapes of Freely to the swinging drive of Cinderella's Shoe, ballads, lyrical waltzes, and blues. The quartet’s interpretations of Nature Boy and The Night Has A Thousand Eyes gain new dimension through improvisational spark, strong melodic lines, and a collective sound.

The recording highlights the ensemble at its most communicative: Cecilie Grundt’s melodic, expressive tenor saxophone, Vigleik Storaas’ inventive and lyrical piano playing, David Andersson’s grounded bass lines, and Frederik Villmow’s dynamic, responsive drumming. Together they deliver a vivid snapshot of a band honoring the jazz tradition while continuing to explore new directions on stage.
