Margriet Sjoerdsma – Bloom – CD – download (WAV)

‘Nearly all songs have a touch of Bacharach and that is a huge compliment. Not only the compositions by Margriet Sjoerdsma herself but also those of her incredibly capable pianist Dimitar Bodurov are gems.’
HP de Tijd *****

‘“Bloom” is like a proverbially budding flower that now shows its strength in full bloom. It is a confirmation of what I wrote earlier at the occasion of the release of her debut CD: The Netherlands are the richer by one more excellent jazz vocalist. Bloom is a strong statement from a singer who consistently defines her own musical ways.’

‘Her debut album “With the whisper of a morning” has in “Bloom” a successor of rare beauty. I don’t recall ever playing a CD that, once I got it, I immediately replayed as I did with “Bloom”. I do not believe that this year will see the release of a Dutch production that surpasses this CD.’ Tubantia*****

‘Her pianist and right hand Dimitar Bodurov and the famous top producer Michael Hoogeboezem together with a bunch of young top musicians succeed in turning “Bloom” into a daring act in which jazz, pop and even classical elements blend in a perfectly natural way.’
