Yet, the pain lingers. Over the insistence of a New Orleans street beat in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Happy For Me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she gives her voice an edge and addresses her family back home; \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you be happy for me. Come on and be happy for me\/You know you wanna be happy for me. Why can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you ever be happy for me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The amusing \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Up Again\u00e2\u20ac\u009d traces Korb\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s determination to master pronunciation of the notoriously tricky Danish language. The bluesy title tune concludes, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153With no drama, no fuss\/Ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t nobody here but the band and us\/And how am I finding it?\/I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m finding home.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n Among the chapters of Korb\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s autobiographical story-telling, the album opens up generously for improvisation by the bassist, a prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 of Ray Brown, and eight sidemen who appear in various combinations. Her rhythm section companions on all tracks are pianist Magnus Hjorth and drummer Snorre Kirk, the young Danes who accompanied her to great effect in Ystad<\/a>. Other K\u00c3\u00b8benhavners who solo impressively are tenor saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist, guitarists Jacob Fischer and Paul Halberg, trumpeter Gerard Presencer, and a wonderfully blowsy trombonist named Steen Nikolaj Hansen. They reinforce the impression that Scandinavian musicians today are among the most interesting jazz players anywhere.

<\/a>Korb, whose singing matches the high quality of her bass playing, releases Finding Home<\/em> after previewing some of its pieces this summer at the Ystad Jazz Festival in Sweden. The nine songs she wrote for the album recount the changes in her life after she moved in 2011 from Los Angeles to Denmark, her new husband\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s native land. Most of them project celebration, optimism and the elation of new love. A samba, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Spring,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d has a lyric that includes, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Something in my heart I cannot contain\/Light and joy depleting all the dark and pain.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
