The City of my Soul Sophie Duner & the Callino Quartet Released by SGAE 2011 - CD THE CITY OF MY SOUL is a collaboration between jazz singer Sophie Duner, classical ensemble The Callino Quartet, and Grammy- and Juno-winning producer Michael Haas, resulting in an explosion of stylistic fusion and musical ingenuity. Duner talents as a composer, lyricist, and vocalist hailed as a genuine triple threat (Cadence) and prolific, fearless and quirky (Jazz.com) mesh seamlessly with the classically trained ensemble, allowing the colors and personality of her songs to shine through with musical and personal significance. "As a composer, lyricist & vocalist we pretty much have to acknowledge that Sophie is a genuine triple threat." - Slim & Michael Coyle, Cadence Magazine, New York , USA "Sophie Duner is a unique artist, a profoundly individual composer and a stunning singer." - Michael Haas, award winning producer of Sophie's new album Hauntingly beautiful songs. Just love her ballads. I have always thought her music would have been fantastic for movies. "It's not fusion - it's Duneresque - a newly created genre!" Grammy Award winning recording producer Michael Haas. Sophie Duner is a singer & composer with her roots in jazz. Originally from Sweden, she travels and performs internationally as her blend of jazz, world and contemporary classical writing receives demand worldwide - from the infamous CBGB's in NYC to Buenos Aires Festival de Musica Contemporanea La Plata to Festival O/Modernt in Sweden. Her new solo CD 'Strictly Business' (produced/recorded in London by the renown producer Darren Allison) was released during summer 2022 and awarded 'The 2022 "What a Performance!" Award' in The Art Music Lounge. Previous CD's include 'The City of My Soul' (with The Callino string Quartet, produced by Michael Haas /PARMA Recordings 2013), 'The City of Dizzy' (with Jeremy Harman 2016), 'Songs Eclectic' (with Gene Pritsker 2020), 'The Rain in Spain' (Rory Stuart, Matt Penmann & Kahlil Qwame Bell, CIMP 2005). Sophie also recorded a CD of standards in 2014 together with the late, legendary avant garde jazz bassist Dominic Duval (who spent a decade with Cecil Taylor). Her music may be described as a blend of the romantic and the spiritually elevated with a dissonant, bold and satirical edge, playing with tense colours resolving into romantic harmony or vice versa. Often, it's loud and dynamic With musical roots in jazz, Sophie personally draws heavily on a variety of composers such as Kurt Weill, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Hans Werner Henze, Dizzy Gillespie & Stravinsky.
