Introducing Laila Nysten: LA ILA Large Ensemble (JazzHall SummerFestival)

Kickoff of the Focus Artist Concerts: Violinist and singer Laila Nysten presents her original compositions with her large ensemble, consisting of a rhythm section, string quartet, and wind section. In the second half of the concert, the Hamburg-based artist will be introduced on stage during an interview. LA ILA is the solo project of Hamburg-based violinist, singer, and composer Laila Nysten. The combination of ethereal vocals, string sounds, jazz, and electronic elements creates a unique yet accessible sound that repeatedly evokes LA ILA’s Nordic roots. At times transparent and catchy, at other times dark and restless, symphonic waves surge upward only to collapse as if in a dream. With a string quartet, woodwinds, and a rhythm section, the ensemble explores the boundaries between jazz, pop, and chamber music.
