Entering show business as a child actor before maturing from a teen ingénue who chirped galloping cowboy numbers in the mid-'60s to a throaty cabaret-style diva decades later, the versatile Danish singer Gitte Hænning specialises in a style of schlager conversant in jazz and rock. She hit it big in Sweden first and recorded songs in several languages, even Italian. Frequently backed by a brassy big band, she has interpreted Dixieland standards like “Basin Street Blues” but also songs from The Police, Paul Simon, Roberta Flack and Barbra Streisand—the latter seemingly her primary influence.
