Album Description

“TOP 5 BEST VOCAL JAZZ RELEASE 2017! Tenderly is a truly superb recording.”

— The New York City Jazz Record

“Lillys and Hekselman’s arrangements reach almost the impossible of regenerating standards like the title track, “You Go To My Head”, “Skylark” and “Day Dream” to the point of ownership rather than reinterpretation”

— The New York City Jazz Record, Feb 2018 Issue

“Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass set the bar high for guitar-vocal duos. Danish singer Lilly Hertzman and guitarist Gilad Hekselman touch that bar with Tenderly”

— All About Jazz / by C. Michael Bailey

“The voice and the guitar is like a match made in heaven”

— ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS in Danish music magazine GAFFA!

“I am touched and deeply impressed by Lillys new album, Tenderly... So touched and impressed, that I have to say, that Tenderly is not only Lillys best release until date, but one of the recent years best Danish vocaljazzalbums!”

— ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS in Danish music magazine GAFFA.

“Her interpretations offer an emotionally deep, truthful view, due to which these standards thus become her own songs”

— Jazzthing

“.. listening to her, while she is being accompanied by Gilad - that has the stuff of legend” (....) Lilly’s authenticity is unsurpassable (…) His playing in “Skylark” urges this, all the intros, accompaniments and soli are unique works of art”. (...)“End result: This duo is a new, very tall, bright lighthouse in the variety of this kind of duo occupation”

— Jazz Podium, March 2018 (German jazzmagazine since 1952)

“Lilly’s authenticity is unsurpassable ”

— Jazz Podium

“Her voice is warm and calm, and she feels completely relaxed in this setting, using space as a sound..." (...) Hekselman delivers dainty intros like flowing drapery on a glistening “Skylark” and sparkling “Day Dream” while some creative pedal work creates a pastoral “You’re Everything”. Gentleness and gentility at its best.”

— Jazz Weekly

“A setup so simple and yet so complex. Phrasings filled with an understanding of space and pause. Guitar lines and vocal chords. Guitar chords and vocal lines. A symbiosis, a deep conversation, not chitter-chatter. Poetry sung tenderly.”

— ALL ABOUT JAZZ, Dec 2017 (4,5 out of 5 stars) / by Jakob Baekgaard
