Näh

Jazz sensation for fifteen years, the South Korean singer Youn Sun Nah, already a gold record in France is known for its exploration of an ever exclusive repertoire: from her original covers of standard rock, folk or song to his compositions with pop accents.

With her new album Same Girl Youn Sun Nah is still on a musical voyage, exploring and experimenting with different musical styles and genres. Again the song material is very diverse, but she is still the same girl the audience has come to know and love, surprising the listener with songs that have been interpreted in highly individual and distinctive ways, and which break free from the usual stylistic constraints. I didn t want to be confined to a particular repertoire but reflect all possible moments of my life, she explains. That s why I think the album is atmospherically much more diverse than Voyage and, in certain respects, it has more depth and reflects even more aspects of my personality.

Gefährlich nah hat sich Helena Goldt in prominente Hände begeben. An ihrer Seite der italienische Pianist und Arrangeur Ludovico Fulci, der sich durch seine langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit Ennio Morricone einen hervorragenden Namen gemacht hat. Ferner der aus Kaliningrad stammende Konstantin Belonogov, der etwa die Hälfte der Arrangements beigesteuert hat. Mit dem Rückenwind des Babylon-Berlin-Gefühls flog Helena Goldt im Sommer nach Rom, um dort ihr Album einzuspielen. Befreit von der Schwere ihrer klassischen Ausbildung ließ sie sich mit innerer Leichtigkeit in die von ihr ausgewählten und teils selbst geschriebenen Lieder fallen. Um sie herum ein feines musikalisches Trapez, gehalten von erstklassigen, vornehmlich italienischen Musikern und Musikerinnen in der Besetzung von Streichquartett, Trompete, Bass, Drums und Piano.

The name says it all, because two ensembles could hardly be further apart. On one side there is a Big Band, sixteen musicians whose core skills do not necessarily include playing softly, and on the other there are six female singers, whose greatest strength lies in their control of the finest nuances. There are, however, unifying elements — the search for new shores, for sounds and structures that have never been heard before, and the joy of experimenting. These elements form the common thread that runs through Jan Schreiner’s compositions.
