INFORMATION
Blue Anemone, the titlesong of the cd ”and in Danish "Den blå anemone”, is a Danish song about maintaining hope through times of darkness. Planting a seed in unfamiliar ground and thinking that the roughness and incompatibility of the surrounding Elements will be the end of this fragile existance. But come spring, surprise and joy, a spot of sky blue breaks through the soil. Even stronger from resistance this beautiful flower reminds us that there is always a way up and out, no matter how impossible things may seem and that flowers can survive to spread hope and joy in even the most unlikely places.
Though today she is also active with musical projects of different genres (impro, deep pop, poetry rock) her intial love - the jazz standard - has never seized to fascinate and occupy her. So with this trio Birgitte Lyregaard (w. Alain Jean-Marie, Piano and Alexandra Grimal, saxophones) gets lost in the American Book of Standards, the bare, re-defined essentials of the soul of the jazz ballads.

PRESS REVIEWS
''Lyregaard heeft een frisse en zuivere stem en een aparte slepende frasering die het spannend maakt. Haar bereik is vrij klein, maar haar stem bevat een vleugje erotiek, waarmee ze hoewel haar stijl daarmee geen overeenkomst toont, doet denken aan sensuele zangeressen uit de jaren vijftig.'' Tom Beetz Jazzism Winter 2010
''Lyregaard has a fresh, clear voice and a distinct lingering phrasing that makes it so exciting. Her range is quite small, but her voice has a touch of eroticism. With that touch - although her style does not show any matches - she reminds us of the sensual singers from the fifties.'' Tom Beetz Jazzism Winter 2010
''Lyregaards intrigerende stem is wat zoekend en doet in dat opzicht denken aan Chet Baker. Net als Baker zingt de Deens-Franse Lyregaard American Standards. Net als Baker doet ze dat heel ingetogen en speels. Fijn!" Vrouwkje Tuinman Opzij december 2010
"Lyregaards intriguing voice is a bit searching and in this respect it is reminiscent of Chet Baker. Like Baker the Danish-French Lyregaard sings American Standards. Like Baker she makes it very sober and playful. Nice!" Vrouwkje Tuinman Opzij December 2010
"Het opzet is flinterdun, breekbaar en minimalistisch. Totaal wars van agressie en jazzdrive kan je deze cd beter tegemoet treden als jazz in de vorm van kleinkunst en storytelling." Chris Joris Jazzmozaïek Winter 2010
"The design is thin, brittle and minimalistic. Total averse of aggression and JazzDrive, better confront this CD as a jazz and cabaret in a storytelling way." Chris Joris Jazzmozaïek Winter 2010
