Lisa Bassenge is one of the most respected singers in jazz, in Germany, but also internationally. She relies on her proven fellow musicians Jacob Karlzon on piano and Andreas Lang on bass. As always, Bassenge presents a wonderful bouquet of songs, a seemingly wild mix from all corners of the pop, singer-songwriter and jazz universe and, surprisingly, from a single source. The spectrum ranges from Elliott Smith to Duran Duran, from Billie Holiday to Björk. Is that possible? "Yes," says the Berlin singer, "it's always about the expressiveness of the songs, this is the thematic bracket for us." So it happens that a Hank Williams song stands next to Madonna's "Frozen" and "Catch" by The Cure. Lisa Bassenge has been cultivating this versatility and openness for over two decades now. Her voice glows and sparkles in all her song interpretations. The basic coloring of the program, however, remains jazz. The Scandinavian relaxed sound cradles Lisa softly. Let yourself be carried away into a rich sound cosmos.
