“The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their divine nature, not just entertainment.”

This new album from Connie Lansberg is the antithesis of musical clutter – a genuine work of art fearlessly embracing authenticity. 

“None of Lanberg’s compositions are ordinary in their storytelling. A quietly expressive jazz singer with a beautiful voice, Connie Lansberg excels throughout Alone with Bees, a recommended release that makes one want to see her and her trio perform live.”

Alone with Bees celebrates skill, taste, wisdom, and ingenuity. Sometimes these traits overlap with popularity; most times, they don’t. This celebration is dependent on smart, sophisticated, and adventurous listeners. The rest of the population can eat the pre-digested baby food that is the pop music of today.

Through her stunning lyrics and accessible melodies, she models how the acceptance of reality is essential to a fulfilling life. She weaves heartfelt storytelling into each poetic verse. Set against a backdrop of accessible melodies and gorgeous piano work by the wonderfully talented pianist Mark Fitzgibbon, this album could not have been written and performed by anyone else. Ben Hanlon’s bass solo on the title track is stunning and the tasteful and supportive drumming by Peter Hodges rounds out this fine trio. Alone with Bees is Connie’s second offering and like her first original album Tsera’s Gift, it was mixed by Emmy award-winning engineer Brian Losch.

 

“To create music other than from your Soul’s truth is to put more garbage into the world.”

 

Alone with Bees, transcends the boundaries of conventional jazz..
