| Elsa Nilsson "Salt Wind" - Video of the Day - February 18 on AAJ Flutist Elsa Nilsson Video of the Day - February 18 Exclusively at All About Jazz "Someone For Something" New CD: "Salt Wind" Release Date: March 3 "Someone for Something" captures the moment when you leave your home with a clear idea of what your day is going to be like. You have a plan for what you want to do and think about but New York just eats it. It's just GONE, I have no control. There is something beautiful in the way you have to live in the moment when moments take over like this. It can be fun, but it can also be exhausting and nerve-racking. This composition rides the line between following the plan and having it be interrupted and go in unexpected directions. It is the cognitive dissonance of existing as a freelancer in New York City. Flutist and composer Elsa Nilsson's new album "Salt Wind" is a deeply personal expression with influences from every aspect of her colorful life. Born in Gothenburg, Sweden and raised by a California hippie, Nilsson had her feet planted in two very different cultures, leading her to seek commonalities wherever she can find them. She believes the true beauty of music is its ability to create common ground, and she weaves all kinds of folk music (including jazz) to find a deeper understanding between people and cultures. This cross-cultural philosophy is evident in her compositional style, subtly drawing from personal and universal elements to create a sound that is distinctly her own yet approachable from many angles. write your comments about the article :: © 2017 Jazz News :: home page |
