Reviews:
On her second album, "By Myself", Inger Marie chose to work with the celebrated Danish producer Søren Sigumfeldt. They recorded the album in Gothenburg, Sweden, still with Inger Marie's hand picked local Arendal musicans, but also inviting the Swedish guitar virtuoso Ulf Wakenius to the studio. Other guest performers include Gunnar Halle (trumpet) and Niclas Knudsen (electric guitar). The record has been released in most European countries by the Danish company Sundance, on the Stunt label.
Inger Marie waited for many years before she ventured upon a solo career, but she has ample experience from many years activities in the music field. For twenty years she has been active as vocalist in several bands, ranging from a youthful rock band to a six year period as lead singer of a jazz big band. She has also fronted her own jazz quintet "My Favorite Strings", as well as collaborating with several excellent jazz musicians, among them Tom Lund, one of Norway's finest Latin jazz-guitarists, founder of the renowned group Trio de Janeiro.
