What They’re Saying
"With their debut album Emerald Forests, the singers Floor Denil (soprano), Muriel Urquidi (alto), Leander Moens (tenor) and Jonas Veirman (bass) present a fascinating panorama of modern vocal jazz art." - Maaru Will, BRF 1 Radio
translated from German
“The result is a debut that is both astonishing and delightful: chamber-music-like in its precision, jazzy in its fluidity, and imbued with a palpable joy in playing together.”
Maaru Will, Belgischer Rundfunk (BRF), translated from German
"It's no easy feat: performing appealing jazz without instrumental accompaniment. Nelja pulls it off perfectly. The four are perfectly in tune with each other, and although they bring different personalities and experiences, Nelja sounds like a unified whole.
Hans Invernizzi, Jazzflits (# 447), translated from Dutch
"Sometimes all you need is a voice. A cappella quartet Nelja proves this with their debut album. The voices of [Nelja] intertwine in a unique way, complementing each other to create a unique sound that breathes new life into eleven jazz numbers.
Felix Sandon, Luminous Dash, translated from Dutch
