Majken Christiansen and her quintet performs revitalized jazz in the tradition of the great jazz divas, where Ella Fitzgerald always will be one great inspiration. But Majken does her things with an open and updated appearance. Whatever she sings, she conveys the classic texts and melodies from The American Songbook with warmth, honesty and conviction. Majken is one of the most popular swing jazz singers in Denmark and Norway. She has done numerous concerts and have recorded three records with her Norwegian quintet (latest record COMES LOVE, 2007).
Living in Oslo, she has toured much for Rikskonsertene and has been singing with artists like Georgie Fame, Ken Peplovski, Wendell Brunious, Ulf Johansson Werre, Morten Gunnar Larsen, Georg Reiss, Kåre Conradi, Marvin Charles, Bodil Niska, Christiania 12, Magnolia Jazzband, The Sinatra Songbook, Jazzin' Babies, Sandvika storband and Ski storband (latest record SKI LOVES YOU MADLY, 2009).
