Wild Gardens - Diane Jarvi explores the roots and vines, the flowers and the shadows, on her fifth CD release, WildGardens(Lupine Records / 2007). The tranquility that infuses Diane’s vocal style compellingly traverses the landscape where emotions converge – joyfulness, mourning, hope, rebirth. Accompanied by her own guitar and kantele (Finnish folk harp), Diane is joined by a stellar roster of Twin Cities musicians on originals, traditional songs and contemporary covers. The 13 tracks include a rich blend of folk, jazz, tangos and Gypsy sounds – a range matched by a breadth of languages. Diane is a Minneapolis native whose grandparents all emigrated from Finland, a heritage she has embraced throughout her career. On WildGardens, Diane’s poetic tales are sung in English, Finnish, Swedish and Occitan (a language of Medieval French troubadours).
