Soft low-key jazz meets folk melodies to give a wonderfully festive Christmas record. The eminent Vintermåne trio, featuring vocals, piano and saxophone, delivers the real Christmas spirit. With folk tunes from Telemark and a poetic jazz-inspired accompaniment Vintermåne (which means “winter moon) rises high to light up the dark wintry nights of Christmas.

Anne Gravir sings a selection of our most cherished Christmas songs in folk music versions, accompanied by Torjus Vierli’s elegantly soft piano and Frøydis Grorud’s melodious saxophone. Since its beginning in 1997 this trio has given Christmas concerts each December. They have now chosen their favourite songs from their repertoire for a Christmas CD they have called “Søde julenat” (Sweet Christmas Eve)

These songs are included:
•Glade Jol (Silent Night)
•Eg synger jolekvad (I Am So Glad Each Christmas Eve)
•Her er det ny, som på jorderik skjedde
•I denne söde joletid (In This Sweet Christmas Time)
•Her kommer dine arme smaa (Thy Little Ones, Dear Lord, Are We)
•Lussinatti lange
•Mitt hjerte alltid vanker (My Heart Is Always with Jesus)
•Ett lidet barn så lystelig (A Small Child So Joyous)
•Kling no klokka (Ring Now the Bell)
•Guds son er komen til oss ned (God’s Son Has Come Down To Us)
•Det lyser i stille grender (Rise up Shepherd)
