What can songs from the Great American Songbook that were published 50 to 80 years ago still give us today? After listening to Paul Bernewitz's emotional debut album, we know: Endless much. Paul Bernewitz' arrangements are like a new genre. They are not just "arrangements" - like there are many of "Someday My Prince Will Come" and other world-famous songs - they are new narratives, spin-offs, small mines, parcours: struggling for free space, where the predetermined rolls off, and longing for something valid , where emptiness and insignificance take over.
