We love musicians who both are masters of their instrument and highly creative performers. Jordan Sand is one of these visionary virtuosos.
Jordan Sand is an American bassist, vocalist and improviser weaving voice into the organ-like resonances of bowed double bass. Her solo music, described as “Joni Mitchell meets Ligeti” (Omaha Under the Radar), blends song, free improv and noise to haunting effects. An omnivorous, eclectic player with roots in folk and classical music, she moves fluidly between genres and scenes, often expanding the double bass’s voice with her siren-like singing, extended techniques, and a sharp command of the instrument’s endless overtones. Sand is currently based in Trondheim, Norway. A seasoned solo performer, she has lived in four countries and ten cities, driven twice cross-continent in July, and plays on a Hungarian double bass of otherwise unknown origin.
