We've just begun

"Sinne Eeg er en af Danmarks pt. bedste jazzsangerinder. Hun er stilsikker, synger med en udpræget stamina, en sanselig sensitivitet og en helt grundlæggende styrke ... Derfor er det heller ikke overraskende, at hun har indspillet dette, nye album med DR's forrygende Big Band ... Sinne Eeg er opgaven voksen. Og hun har selv haft fingrene helt nede i dejen på halvdelen af numrene - selv komponeret og skrevet sange ... Men uanset ophav fremstår helheden som - ja, en raffineret helhed. Selvfølgelig både takket være bandets lyd og (...) takket være sangen - den stilsikre, modne og overbevisende vokal".

"Sinne Eeg's seductive earth-toned vocals combine with the swinging Danish Radio Big Band on the singer's ninth leader date.Sinne's sophisticated delivery is just about flawless on the title track ... "To A New Day," with a credit split between Martin Schack and Eeg, adds an infectious r&b-gospel influence, a sound suited to the singer's positive message and serving as an inspired closer to We've Just Begun".

"Any vocalist who can summon the world-class Danish Radio Big Band to serve as a backup group must have something special to offer. Sinne Eeg, whose lustrous voice uplifts and illuminates her ninth album, We've Just Begun, has all of that and more. Eeg, as it turns out, is a shining star in her native Denmark - and if she weren't, she certainly should be. Singing mostly in English, Eeg displays a charming voice that is strong and clear and a style that is jazz-inflected but unmannered, in the image of her role models: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day".

"So many superlatives have been showered upon Danish singer Sinne Eeg that you wonder whether anyone could be that good - or was this yet another case of flawless but cold perfection? Well, this album says she's certainly that good. Along with all the usual qualifications (time, intonation, phrasing) she has an attractive, flexible voice, sings and writes songs in two languages, and improvises perfect wordless scat. And there's an easy, unhurried, at-home aura around it all which has nothing to do with technique. The programme is roughly half-and-half originals and standards, and if you didn't already know, you wouldn't find it easy to guess which was which. The tunes are proper melodies and the words make sense, the title number being especially good ... Eeg shares the limelight with the Danish Radio Big Band, among the best of the great radio bands that adorn north European airwaves. This isn't mere accompaniment. The 10 tracks are filled with fascinating orchestral textures, dotted with brief but tasty solos".

"Den efterhånden etablerede vokaldiva Sinne Eeg er blevet sammenlignet med ikke så få af sine ikoniske kolleger i jazzsangerindefaget (...), men først og fremmest er hun sin egen. Og så minder hun altså også om Grethe Ingmann - som hun kunne have lydt. Det kommer man til at tænke på, når man hører mademoiselle Eeg foredrage både 'Hvorfor er lykken så lunefuld' og 'Talking To Myself'. Dem har hun sunget før, men her kommer der altså en interessant Grethe Ingmann-hed på bordet, og den er ekstremt klædelig, uden på nogen måde at være dominerende. DR Big Band klæder også Sinne Eeg. Det er heller ikke nogen nyhed, men på denne plade er samarbejdet bare så skarpt og lystfyldt, at det nærmest gnistrer. Solisterne boltrer sig som fisk i vandet, og i den afsluttende udgave af 'To A New Day' åbenbarer Eeg en funky side af sig selv, vi ikke ofte hører ... Det er en meget behagelig plade, der viser især Jesper Riis og Peter Jensens fortræffeligheder som arrangører og bigbandet som en stærk enhed fyldt med skarpe individualister".
