Song For Josia (released 2014 in Oslo, Norway by Øra Fonogram – OF034) is the second solo album by the saxophonist Hanna Paulsberg, as "Hanna Paulsberg Concept".[1]
The review by Fredrik Wandrup of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 5.[1] Kongsberg Jazzfestival reviewer Tor Dalaker Lund awarded the album Record of the month, March.[2]
The saxophone by the leader herself tell us that Shorter and Miles acoustic bands are very much her inspiration. All the compositions are made by Paulsberg, and the music is always in motion, carefully lifted by the rhythm strong section.[3]
This is Paulsberg's second album, following up her successful solo debut Waltz For Lilli (2012), just over a year ago. Now it is with regards to one of her musical friends in Madagaskar, where she has just presented her music live on the Madajazzkar Festival.[4]
TheJazzBreakfast.com critique Peter Bacon, in his review of Paulsberg's album Song For Josia states:
| ... Right from the opening notes this is an album which draws the listener in – it's the way the band interacts, it's the sound of their instruments, especially Paulsberg's saxophone. Not only does she have a compelling sound, rounded with both a puffy tone and a clear edge as well, but she constructs great lines with strong sense of searching and forward momentum... |
