DESCRIPTION:
Karin Krog continued with her own quartets and quintets, singing with groups led by Egil Kapstad, and recorded two singles with the rhythm & blues band "Public Enemies" (1966), before making her second LP "Jazz Moments" (which included a young Jan Garbarek).
Her international career began to take off with visits to Warsaw and Prague in 1966. In 1967 she performed in the USA with Don Ellis and Clare Fischer, appeared in Brussels, and received the first place nomination for "Artist Deserving of Wider Recognition" in Down Beat critic's poll. During the following year Karin appeared at the Montreaux festival and continued on to tour Europe in 1969 and Japan in 1970 with the Down Beat Poll Winners. Back in Norway she began studying with the singer Ivo Knecevic (1969-72), and was awarded the Norwegian Government's travel and study award in 1970, at that time an unusual honour for a jazz musician.
In 1970 and '71 she visited America, was granted a Norwegian government's work scholarship, led the European Workshop at Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 1972, and received a Norwegian "Grammy" during 1974. Also, during 1973-74, Karin took time off to study television production. To top all this off, the European Jazz Federation in 1975 elected her "Female Singer of the Year"
