Reception

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]

Review

Shorter and Miles acoustic bands influenced the saxophonist. All the compositions are made by Paulsberg, and the music is always in motion, carefully lifted by the rhythm strong section.[3]

Song For Josia is Paulsberg's second album, following her solo debut Waltz For Lilli (2012).[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...[3]
