Stephanie K. - A Word Before You Go (CD)
Jazz singer Stephanie K. presents her fourth solo album. With her ensemble, she explores numerous facets of life through emotionally complex songs: love, loss, nostalgia, and humor.
Eight of these thirteen pieces are original compositions. Stephanie K. also wrote lyrics for three pieces composed by renowned jazz musicians Joe Locke (A Word Before You Go), Geoffrey Keezer (Honu), and Emanuel Hauptmann (Breaking Ice). The album also includes interpretations of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" and Lennon/McCartney's "She's Leaving Home."
We cordially invite you to lose yourself in the magic of this "Jazz Conversation." Feel how Sebastian Altekamp (piano) and Ingo Senst (bass) harmoniously interweave the album's themes. Let yourself be carried along by the wave created by Christian Schoenefeldt (drums) and Markus Paßlick (percussion), and experience the colorful variety of sounds created by Christian Kappe (trumpet/flugelhorn) with his instruments.
