EN | Telling stories with maturity, confidence, and style, Nana Rashid’s captivating voice draws the listener in and takes them on a journey through the innermost thoughts and feelings that make up the compelling album Music for Betty. The album has been called a wonderful canon to the jazz canon and the music provides a fresh take on how modern Scandinavian vocal jazz can sound today.

“… one of the strongest debut vocal albums I’ve heard in a very long time” Salt Peanuts

Walking a tightrope between an homage to her idols and an undeniably modern, self-assured performance, the vocalist places herself in the present through her charged lyricism, and political/spiritual undertones.
The heart and soul of everything Rashid does is rooted in the belief that music can remind us of what we have in common – our humanity. The eight tracks on the record were written and chosen out of a wish to make music for the dismissed parts of Rashid´s soul as a tool to reintegrate them into herself. In Jazzcafé Bebop she will play some of his own pieces in trio with Hue Blanes on piano, Snorri Skúlason on double bass and Matthijs de Ridder on drums.
