Dance of Sounds is the debut album of the Estonian vocalist. It invites the listener to the realms of sincere joy, tranquil melancholy and hidden sorrow through captivating melodies and honest storytelling both in English and Estonian. Karmen Rõivassepp Quartet creates music within the modern jazz idiom with a sophisticated melodic and harmonic approach, great musical interplay and a unique playfulness that brings new life to the genre.
