Fiona Grond: Hearts Wide Open

Munich-based vocalist Fiona Grond lays her heart bare with Hearts Wide Open. While she has drawn attention in recent years primarily through small ensembles, she now presents a high-calibre sextet at Jazzsommer. The intimacy of small-group settings is preserved in delicate compositions that sit somewhere between chamber jazz, avant-pop, and new music. Grond's pieces follow a natural logic that privileges listening over assertion.
