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

FO

7Heaven bjóðar til eitt serligt tónleikakvøld, har amerikanska songkvinnan DeBorah aftur stendur á palli saman við bólkinum. Síst hon stóð á pallið við hesum bólki var ikki meira enn 20 ár síðani. Skráin fevnir um jass, blues og gospel, framførd við nærveru, sniðiligheit og djúpari søguligari rødd.

DeBorah hevur sínar jassrøtur úr uppvøkstrinum, har pápin Walter Stanley Herbert var hennara størsta íblástur. Hann var staddur í París undir seinna heimsbardaga, har hann bleiv tættur við nakrar av mest týðandi jassnøvnunum í søguni, Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington og Dizzy Gillespie. Hetta førdi eisini til, at DeBorah sjálv fekk møguleikan at hitta og syngja saman við Dizzy Gillespie.

DeBorah hevur búð 25 ár í Keypmannahavn, har hevur hon samstarvað við fleiri av teimum stórum nøvnum í Danmark, millum annað Horace Parlan, Richard Boone og Ed Thigpen.

Hetta kvøldið savnar tónleikurin amerikanskar og norðurlendskan røtur, har søgur og ljóð ferðast frá Afriku, ígjøgnum Amerika, og nú til Føroya í eini serstakari jass- blues uppliving.
DeBorah fegnast um at vitja Føroyar aftur og at samstarva við framúrskarandi tónleikararnar í 7Heaven.

7Heaven joins with American singer DeBorah for an evening of Jazz, Blues, and a touch of Gospel.
After more than 20 years, DeBorah returns to perform with Heaven once again, bringing Jazz standards, Blues, and Gospel to the stage.

DeBorah’s greatest jazz influence was her father, Walter Stanley Herbert. Stationed in Paris during WWII, he filled her childhood with stories of Jazz icons he knew personally, including Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, and Dizzy Gillespie. DeBorah was once invited to a Dizzy Gillespie concert, where she met him, shared her father’s story, and was invited to sing a song with him.

Having lived in Copenhagen for over 25 years, she has been blessed to perform with some of Denmark’s finest musicians, including Horace Parlan, Richard Boone, and Ed Thigpen.

On this special evening, America and the Faroe Islands meet, sharing northern island sounds and stories that travel from Africa through America, now carried once again to the Faroes in a jazzy blues spirit. DeBorah is delighted to return to the Faroe Islands and to perform with these amazing “Northern Lights” musicians from 7Heaven.
