Vegen Åt Deg

Vegen Åt Deg (released 28 November 2012 by the label Øra Fonogram – OF036) is a solo album by Heidi Skjerve.

Reception
Here we are served Skjerve's delicate voice on an album where different genres like traditional folk music, Old Norwegian Folk Dance, Danish hymns and American cool jazz mixes and ascend into a higher unity. She challenges both herself and her teachers from the Jazz program at Trondheim Musikkonservatorium, when she gathers her musical roots, creating a highly personal expression anno 2012. Indeed, Skjerve stake out a new course and opportunities for peculiarly Norwegian improvised music.

The review by Tor Hammerø of the Norwegian electronic newspaper Nettavisen awarded the album dice 5.
