and Cole Porter with nerve and personality.
Mette Juul released the critically acclaimed album Moon On My Shoulder in

Nordic musicians, Lars Danielsson on Bass, Morten Lund on drums and Nikolaj
Hess by the piano. The album already recieved great reviews internationally. In 2007, Mette Juul won the International
Jazz Artist Competition in Tallinn, in which 12 singers from 9 countries participated. Mette has performed at
several international jazz festivals and clubs, and is already a well-known face on the international music scene.

Mette Juul also blasted her way into the hearts of many jazz critics back in 2010 with her debut album, „Coming In From
The Dark“, with the legendary rhythm champion Alex Riel and his trio. Distinguished musicians such as trumpeter, Palle
Mikkelborg, and guitarist, Poul Halberg, furthermore supported the young singer on her debut. The album was released

on Cowbell Music and received a lot of great reviews in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Finland and Japan.

What people are saying:

nachhaltig wirken.“ Germany Press — Jazzpodium
