    Artist: The Quiet Nights Orchestra

    Label: Headlock Music

    Never judge a book by the cover. The Quiet Nights Orchestra may sound gentle and kind, but behind the name hides a young ensemble that sparkles of intensity and interplay. The Stockholm based jazz-outfit was formed in 2006 by trombonist Peter Fredriksson and started out as an instrumental sextet playing original compositions. Nowadays the band has expanded to 8 members including the young talented vocalist Sofie Norling. Influences is ranging from classic Blue Note recordings, the Nordic jazz scene from the 60’s, to the sounds of modern nu jazz from various corners of the world.

    QNO is releasing their debut album “Chapter One” on P-Vine Records/Blues Interactions for Japan, Bonnier Amigo in Scandinavia and through Do Right! Music for Canada, UK and France.
