The good Italian musicblog Indie for Bunnies has announced that today is “Hanne Hukkelberg-day” on their site. They have already published a review of the norwegian artists latest album “Rykestrasse 68″, and later in the afternoon, they will publish a live report from Hanne Hukkelberg’s concert in Rome. The live report will also feature a video from the concert, says Alessio from Indie for Bunnies to Eardrums.�I am very happy that Babelfish comes with an “Italian to English”-option, and I guess I’ll be heading over to our Italian blog-colleagues later tonight.

This gives me an opportunity to say some words about a nice Hanne Hukkelberg-related project that I have enjoyed for some time now: IGNORE.

�Hanne is also involved in�the jazz-project�Ignore, and they released a fine album called “Happiness not yet won” on acoustic records in 2006. The music is experimental and partly improvised jazz, with great atmosphere.��
In Ignore, Hanne Hukkelberg is a musician, not a songwriter. All songs and lyrics are written by Gaute Storsve, who also plays guitar and lapsteel in the project. Hanne does the vocal-parts, Erik Balke plays saxophone, Ketil Einarsen (known from Jaga Jazzist) plays flute, Henning Sandsalen is the bassplayer and Jonas Howden Sj�vaag does the drums. Hanne’s singing�is as playful as it is on her own albums, but she uses her voice differently, which is interesting to hear. For the general pop-fan, this might be difficult music, but if you give it some time, you will see and hear the beauty of it. Here’s a track from the album, and if you like it, you can buy the album from waysidemusic.com
