(Jazz, Vocal Jazz) Beady Belle feat. Bugge Wesseltoft, Torun Eriksen, Gregory Hutchinson, Reuben Rogers, Mathias Eick & Joshua Redman - On My Own - 2016, MP3, 320 kbps

Beady Belle is a result of a collaboration between the two Norwegian musicians Beate S. Lech and Marius Reksjø which began at the University of Oslo. As music students they started playing together in several bands. In 1999 Beate began to produce her first own album for Jazzland Records in her home studio. After a while Marius took care especially in producing the groove elements. The record was entitled "Home". Because of the co-operation between Beate and Marius, the project name “Beate S. Lech” was abandoned and “Beady Belle” was created. In 2003 the new album "Cewbeagappic" was released. Since their first release Beady Belle are touring around the world with a live band, wich played also on "Cewbeagappic".

Recorded in New York City, 'On My Own' is the eighth album by Norwegian group Beady Belle. It features a strong - but not overpowering - undercurrent of 70s soul and vocal jazz, mixing intimacy and exuberance, and pulsations both urban and urbane. The musicians include Bugge Wesseltoft (who is also the producer) on keys, Gregory Hutchinson on drums, Reuben Rogers on bass, saxophonist Joshua Redman, trumpeter Mathias Eick and vocalist Torun Eriksen.
Beady Belle is led by charismatic vocalist/composer Beate S. Lech, whose compositional and lyrical skills are showcased here as never before, weaving new tapestries through which her voice is the golden thread. Melodically gripping, harmonically intricate, lyrically intelligent (without pretentiousness), and underpinned by solid grooves. With each new release, her voice has become richer, more capable, and laced with nuance and subtle expressiveness. Simply put, there is no-one else like her.
