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. Joining Kristin will be Will Bonness on piano and Jon McCaslin on drums.
