The City of Dizzy is available on CD Baby…

The Art Music Lounge: – “This album is a killer. Nearly every track comes at you like an assault of rhythm in which the twists and turns of the music keep you on the edge of your seat. Improvising like a jazz horn. Many such singers have claimed this distinction, but only a handful, Dunér, Mark Murphy & Anita O’Day among them, have ever really achieved this. There’s an elemental, animal excitement in everything Dunér sings that grabs you by the throat & pulls you out of complacency.” PURCHASE HERE

From Baroque to Bop and Beyond

Two excerpts [about Sophies CD `The City of My Soul´] from the publication `From Baroque to Bop and Beyond´:

– “We begin with Kairo – there are less notes here than in any single bar of Gershwin’s An American in Paris, but it is infinitely richer in content and better music.”

– “Sophie Dunér has here provided a matrix for jazz-classical vocal writing in the new millennium, a means of presenting the singing voice in a context that could work within a jazz oratorio or opera.”

Sophie´s CD The City of My Soul is featured and discussed in the new online book From Baroque to Bop and Beyond , chapter 18, page 423 – 426 (in the journal The Art Music Lounge) by Lynn René Bayley.
