Heidi Skjerve is a versatile vocalist and composer working in the field of jazz, contemporary music, traditional Norwegian folk music and improvised music. Educated at NTNU, jazz department. Performing with various bands, including the improvising vocal ensemble Trondheim Voices. Written about her CD debut "Coming Home" in 2006: “Norwegian singer Heidi Skjerve has put together a top-notch collection of young jazz musicians who are making a real name for themselves in Scandinavia (…) The singer also composed all the quintet’s songs. Although she has clearly been influenced by jazz standards (“Love’s Philosophy”), Skjerve also employs modal chord structures and folk sensibility (“The Gypsy”) to create echoes of everyone from Miles Davis to Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake. This warm and very personal brand of music will likely appeal to longtime jazz fans and provide a nice entrée for those less familiar with the genre.” – The Wire
