VETRARJAZZ 2026 – DeBorah & 7Heaven (US/DK/FO)

FO

DeBorah er úr New York State. Hennara kærleiki fyri tónleiki og tónleika stílið er komi av tí, ið var spælt heima við hús tá ið hon var yngri, tað var millum annað Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles og Mahalia Jackson, fyri at nevna nakrar. Hon byrjaði at syngja alment, tá hon var bert sjey ára gomul. Seinni fór hon at syngja í Keypmannahavn, har hon møtti Róin Siggertsson í einum írskum fólka Jammi. Róin ringdi beinanvegin til Brand Jacobsen og bað DeBorah syngja acapella fyri honum. Tað gjørdi hon, og Brandur fleyg beint til Keypmannahavnar at innspæla við henni.

Skjótt funnu Brandur og DeBorah út av, at tey vildu innspæla eina fría jass jamm upptøku og síggja, hvat í fór at henda. Í upptøkuhølinum hjá Róini vóru spældi Leivur Thomsen gittara og Mogens Palsbøl (DK) á bassi, og soleiðis bleiv bólkurin 7tHeavenMinor stovnaður, saman við Brandur og DeBorah Herbert. Í 2004 bjóði Brandur, DeBorah til Føroya saman við Valentine Cora á gittara, Malik Jagne á djembe og Jan Zachariassen á bassi, fyri at framføra hugtakið, tónleik uttan reglar, sum eisini hevði íblásturin til sjálva útgávuna. Í konsertunum luttóku teir við nýggjum ljóðførum, argentinski Valentine Cora á gittara, Malik Jagne á trummum, Jan Zachariassen á gittara og Jasmin, níggju ára gamla dóttir DeBorah, sum sang og dansaði.

Í kvøld kemur manningin saman við roWan og Arnold Ludvig sum DeBorah hevur framført saman við síni deilig konu, Annu Iachino, í bólkinum MonkeyRat.

Savnast toymið aftur, hetta eru vit serliga fegin um og fyrstu ferð, at meginparturin av tónleikarunum á útgávuni framførir hana live.

DeBorah is from New York State. She was inspired by many genres of music played in the household during her youth, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson, to name a few. DeBorah’s love of music began when she was very young; she began singing publicly at age 7.

Her adult life has been singing in Copenhagen, where she met Róin Siggertsson at an Irish Folk Jam. Roin immediately called Brandur Jacobsen and asked DeBorah to sing acapella for him. She did, and Brandur flew to Copenhagen to record DeBorah in 2002.

Brandur and DeBorah soon decided to record a free jazz session and see what could transpire. In Róin’s studio, with Leivur Thomsen on guitar, Mogens Palsbol (DK) on bass – 7Heaven MinorBrandur featuring DeBorah Herbert was born.

Brandur invited Deborah to come to the Faroes in 2004 along with Valentine Cora on guitar, Malik Jagne on djembe and Jan Zachariassen on bass to perform the concept of no rules in music, which inspired the album in the first place and Jasmin, DeBorah’s 9-year-old daughter, was singing and dancing as well.

Tonight the crew is getting together with roWan and Arnold Ludvig with whom DeBorah has performed alongside his lovely wife, Anna Iachino, in the band MonkeyRat.
We are happy about this and for the first time, with the majority of the musicians on the release performing it live.
