Beady Belle

Two jazz-loving friends from Oslo merged their talents to create Beady Belle. After club and radio success they graduated to making some of the hippest nu-jazz in all of Europe, a mesmerizing combo of sultry, bittersweet vocals and smooth jazz-funk beats that electrified Europe�s drum & bass, ambient and acid-jazz scenes. With their second CD Cewbeagappic, singer/composer Beate S. Lech and groove-maestro Marius Reksj� refined their reputation for offering musical intoxication: listeners love the fluid rhythms, sinuously expressive vocals, lovely harmonies and subtle lyrics. Beady Belle proved at last year�s JazzFest they are a dynamic, improvisation-focused club act whose catchy, funkified rhythms are tailor-made for a sexy, sweaty time out on the dance floor. With Erik Holm drums, John �ien keyboard.

�A cool, slick and instantly appealing blend of jazz and soul.� -London Observer
