Margriet Sjoerdsma shows she can do this with her album “With the whisper of a Morning”.\r\nSupported by an excellent band ( Dimitar Bodurov on the piano, Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer, Cord Heineking playing the bass and Bernard Weichinger on percussion) she succeeds in delivering an excellent debut album.\r\nLaid-back interpreted songs, pleasantly surprising arrangements and swinging musicians make this an album to last.\r\nHer voice is warm, her intonation lyrical and personal.\r\nSchooled by Fay Claassen and Rita Reys among others and equipped with a full measure of technique this very talented singer possesses impressive vocal powers.\r\nIt is just a pleasure listening to her.\r\nThe band is impressive and surpasses their acoompaniment role.\r\nIn the instrumental parts one hears a trio that is playing together tightly and that subtly offers the listener fresh, original solos at the same time.\r\nAll in all “With the whisper of a Morning” is a stunning debut including even liner notes by Hein Van de Geyn.\r\nWhat more could anyone wish for? Holland welcomes an excellent jazz vocalist!\r\n\r\n\r\nTUBANTIA Ton Ouwehand 11 september 2006\r\n\r\nThe greatest surprise, vocally speaking, is the debut album by 23-year-old Margriet Sjoerdsma.\r\nShe originally is from Limburg and has a warm, flexible voice which is a pleasure listening to.\r\nFour years ago she was a finalist at the Prinses Christina Concours.\r\nDimitar Bodurov was her pianist then and he is the man who plays an astonishing role in “With the whisper of a Morning”. As a composer, but especially as the musician playing the piano, wurlitzer and fender.\r\nEnjoy sparkling arrangements. A convincing merge between jazz and pop. It rarely happens that a group of musicians succeeds in presenting “God bless the child” and “Old devil moon” in such a way that it seems the numbers were recently composed for them. And what’s more: at the same time they play a new, self composed repertoire that gives the listener the idea that the songs have been there for years.\r\n\r\n\r\nPLANET INTERNET Rita Jager 29 september \r\n\r\nThe almost 23-year-old Margriet Sjoerdsma (5 October 1983) recently completed her studies at the Rotterdam Conservatory. Already won a prize.\r\nMargriet’s music is where jazz and popmusic meet, just as with the Norwegian Silje Nergaard. \r\nSometimes sounding loose and jazzy, sometimes more like a popballad, as you can hear on her debut album “ With the whisper of a Morning” ( Pink Records)\r\nIt is a skillfully made album with strong numbers by Sjoerdsma and Bodurov themselves, Bodurov being the pianist of her band.\r\nSjoerdsma’s music is groovy and relaxed and she has a voice that is a pleasure listening to.\r\nThe interaction between the musicians is almost tangible and that creates a spacious atmosphere. Bodurov is original in his play and thus he lifts the whole to an even higher level\r\nIt would have been nice if the whole album had all been originals, for Sjoerdsma’s musical talents show up best in these as compared to the all too well-known standards such as “God bless the child” and “Old Devil Moon”.\r\nAll in all “With the whisper of a Morning” is an excellent debut and holds great promise for the future. \r\n\r\n\r\nJAZZISM herfst 2006 Coen de Jonge\r\n\r\nWhat a relief, the first few bars of this debut album! Not the sound of that deadfully boring “swing-or-I’ll shoot” approach that nearly all young lady vocalists use.\r\nSjoerdsma chose a mischievous percussionist, a striking bass player and a moody, but steering pianist, the Bulgarian Dimitar Bodurov who is also the creator of the arrangements. Nice about his approach is the balance between the members of the trio. There is ample room to play together both while accompanying Sjoerdsma.\r\n“God bless the child” is a venture when it starts. A very pronounced percussion solo, a rythm that doesn’t follow through but is constantly broken off which results in the text getting an even more painful intensity.\r\nMargriet Sjoerdsma moves with flair through the eleven songs. And, boy, can she swing! Listen to her own song “Carry On”. Great debut!\r\n\r\n\r\nFINANCIEEL DAGBLAD 19 oktober 2006 Hans Dijkstal\r\n\r\nIt starts hesitantly with flat tones. The drums join in timidly. The bass follows and all of a sudden we hear the very catchy voice of Margriet Sjoerdsma. The accompaniment by pianist Dimitar Bodurov, bass player Cord Heineking and percussionist \r\nBernard Weichinger is excellent.They all know how to make silence speak.\r\nSensitivity is one of her trademarks and that of her musicians. Listen to classics such as “God bless the child”, “Old devil moon” and “I didn’t know what time it was”.\r\nThe album also comprises songs written by Sjoerdsma and Bodurov themselves.\r\nSjoerdsma has just completed her studies at the Rotterdam Conservatory. Our country welcomes a promising singer!\r\n\r\n\r\nHEAVEN november/december Eric van Domburg Scipio\r\n\r\nJazz with a strong pop feeling \r\n\r\nWith “Careless Love” Madeleine Peyroux made a perfect comeback after her debut “Dreamland” in 1996 seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.\r\n“Half the perfect world” makes use of the same formula as the successful “Careless Love”. Unfortunately more of the same doesn’t always mean good or even better.\r\nPeyroux’ diction, instrumentation and the songs are of a high standard as ever, but all in all it is just a bit more predictable and obvious than her former album.\r\nWe prefer the excellent debut “With the whisper of a Morning” by Margriet Sjoerdsma from Limburg. Supported by the celebrated Bulgarian pianist Dimitar Bodurov and with the help of bass player Cord Heineking en Bernhard Weichinger on percussion she delivers a much more exciting and vocally at least as attractive jazz pop album.\r\nWith Sjoerdsma also a mixture of jazz standards, popsongs and originally written songs. \r\nHer voice is less outspoken than Peyroux’ but her voice has so much personality and warmth that Sjoerdsma is a match for Peyroux while Sjoerdsma’s repertoire, the arrangements and accompaniment offer the listener just that little extra.
