"The debut album from Quiet Nights Orchestra stands up as one of the most inspired effort i've heard in a long time. It brings back all the colours of the northern european jazz scene with a graceful swinging feel.....deserved to be loved" - Nicola Conte


Never judge a book by the cover. The Quiet Nights Orchestra may sound gentle and kind, but behind the name hides a young ensemble that sparkles of intensity and interplay. The Stockholm based jazz-outfit was formed in 2006 by trombonist Peter Fredriksson and started out as an instrumental sextet playing original compositions. Nowadays the band has expanded to 8 members including the young talented vocalist Sofie Norling. Influences is ranging from classic Blue Note recordings, the Nordic jazz scene from the 60’s, to the sounds of modern nu jazz from various corners of the world.
