Eva Kruse´s preceeding albums In Water and On the Mo have both received loads of praise and
recognition.In 2015 and 2017 she was honored with Jazz-Echo awards (the German equivalent of a Grammy)for best national bassplayer. M. Heinzelmann described in NDR´s Jazz-Album of the week that: “The Oboe is very rarely heard in jazz: Its pure sound opens up the sonic landscape and together with the saxophone it takes the listener on a journey into unknown territories”. This spirit of breaking new ground characterizes the whole of the album On the Mo. Eva Kruse plays to her strengths, the poetry, the grooves and the freedom, and together with her band they explore across boundries.
Since then Eva Kruse and her quintet has played loads of festivals (Elbjazz, Jazz Baltica, Basel
Jazzfest, BMW-Jazz-Award etc.) and all the major german and swedish jazzclubs in front of
spellbound audiences. Kruse also tours regularly with Nils Landgren in several different
ensembles, as well as the Petter Bergander Trio, to name a few.
