{"product_id":"simple-things-5065024546007","title":"Simple Things","description":"Whirlwind debut from Estonian pianist and vocalist Britta Virves. Joined by her regular trio partners Jon Henriksson on bass and  Jonas Backman on drums, and a captivating guest appearance from  Artadi, she's created a set of sparklingly fresh original music that is  at once accessible and outgoing, yet still deeply personal. Drawing  from her constant searching for her own unique sound she filters her  love of rhythm and groove through her Nordic sensibility to create an  accessible, compelling blend of excitement and introspection. Growing up on the island of Saaremaa in her native Estonia, Britta  Virves was a keen piano student playing a strictly classical  repertoire. A chance encounter introduced her to jazz: \"I wanted to  learn guitar. So I went to my teacher Tit Paulus, and he told me to  stay with piano, and introduced me to Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock,  Bill Evans - my mind was blown - a new world opened up.\" Britta  immersed herself in the music and her talent soon attracted  attention. Moving to Sweden to further her studies, she was soon  touring Europe with the acclaimed Norrbotten Big Band, under the  direction of Joakim Milder, working closely with featured guest  vocalist Genevieve Artadi and accompanying Artadi on a duo tour  opening for Louis Cole.  Each tune on the album draws inspiration from an aspect of Britta's  own life. \"Simple Things\" has the directness of a pop song married  to the depth of jazz, as Genevieve Artadi's ethereal vocals float over  an insistent backbeat that supports limpid depths of harmony. Other  tracks include \"Bravery\", which showcases the subtlety and dynamic  control of the rhythm team","brand":"Whirlwind Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46353871339603,"sku":"2775204X","price":39.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4481976.jpg?v=1789721479","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/simple-things-5065024546007","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
