(CD)

Christian Balvid 6-tet serves a unique musical blend, combining a classical string trio with the jazz piano trio format. The music on Music for Humans has a lyrical tone and is bridging classical music, cinematic music, jazz and chamberpop.

The album title Music for Humans reflects the feeling of being small in a big world, and still knowing that everything is actually connected. The compositions are therefor selected by their quality on being both easy listening, at the same time multilayered.

The music has been composed continuously over the last 3 years by composer and pianist Christian Balvig in different intimate locations with the hope that the music will also carry over this intimacy.

Louise Gorm – violin, Mikkel Schrieber – viola, Maria Edlund – cello, Christian Balvig – piano, Jens Mikkel Madsen – bass, Siv Øyunn Kjenstad – drums
