80's pop that might just be tomorrow's jazz standards.

Traditionally, her vibe has been all about jazz standards with a feel-good atmosphere – for both musicians and audiences. In recent years, however, Kristin Korb has also started to include pop melodies in her repertoire. On her newest release, Sweet Dreams, Korb celebrates all things Eurythmics and Annie Lennox.

Expect the hits and melodies you grew up loving, wrapped in groove and improvisation that will surpise, delight, and leave you wondering why they didn’t play the songs like this in the first place.

Kristin Korb

Steeped in the groove-stomping tradition of her mentor Ray Brown, bassist and vocalist Kristin Korb brings joyful drive and passion into everything she does. Whether accompanying her singing or arranging gems from the Great American Songbook or pop culture, her music radiates uplifting vibes and irresistible swing. London Jazz News captured it well: “she has a way of taking anything and making it sound cool.”

Her newest release, Sweet Dreams (2024, Giant Sheep Music), is a bold jazz tribute to the Eurythmics. MTV and Annie Lennox’s soaring vocals were the soundtrack of Kristin’s teenage years, leaving a lasting imprint. Now, she brings her personal take on 12 of the band’s most beloved songs, weaving their timeless hits into a vibrant tapestry of jazz storytelling. JazzWax lauded the album: “Each song is transformed and elevated to something more interesting than the original. Kudos to Kristin for taking on these songs.”

Over the years, Kristin has built a celebrated international career as a performer, recording artist, and educator. Based in Denmark, she continues to tour worldwide, inspiring audiences and students alike with music that uplifts and connects.

Gennemsyret af den groove-trampende tradition fra hendes mentor Ray Brown, bringer bassist og vokalist Kristin Korb en smittende glæde og passion ind i alt, hvad hun gør. Uanset om hun akkompagnerer sin egen sang eller arrangerer perler fra den amerikanske sangskat eller popkulturen, udstråler hendes musik opløftende stemninger og uimodståelig swing. London Jazz News beskrev det godt: “Hun har en evne til at tage hvad som helst og få det til at lyde cool.”

Hendes nyeste udgivelse, Sweet Dreams (2024, Giant Sheep Music), er en modig jazz-hyldest til Eurythmics. MTV og Annie Lennox’ kraftfulde vokal var lydsporet til Kristins teenageår og satte varige spor. Nu giver hun sit personlige bud på 12 af bandets mest elskede sange og væver deres tidløse hits sammen til et levende jazzfortællende tæppe. JazzWax roste albummet: “Hver sang bliver forvandlet og løftet til noget mere interessant end originalen. Stor ros til Kristin for at kaste sig over disse numre.”

Gennem årene har Kristin opbygget en internationalt anerkendt karriere som performer, pladekunstner og underviser. Med base i Danmark fortsætter hun med at turnere verden over og inspirerer både publikum og studerende med musik, der løfter og forbinder.
