Enthusiastic echo: new album WINTER DAYS feat. Rebecca Kilgore Enthusiastic echo from the press: New album "Winter Days at Schloss Elmau" (ACT) ECHOES OF SWING Colin T. Dawson (tp), Chris Hopkins (as), Bernd Lhotzky (p), Oliver Mewes (dm) & special guests Rolf Marx (g), Henning Gailing (b) with Rebecca Kilgore (USA/voc) "Taken together, here are thirteen musical winter greetings which are consistently delightful. They chime particularly sweetly with the ethos of the season. Echoes of Swing & the wonderful Rebecca Kilgore are respectful of tradition but have a verve and an energy which make it completely new. This band's taste is impeccable, their ingenuity is inexhaustible, and their musicality is outstanding. This may be music inspired by a specific season and by a long-gone era of jazz, yet it is precious and timeless." (from the liner notes) „A subtly celebatory selection of winter songs. * * * * * “ The TIMES (GB) „If you’re looking for a seasonal album with a touch of class, this is it. Unfailingly witty, affectionate and faultlessly played. * * * * “ The Guardian (GB) „Winter Days at Schloss Elmau evokes a nostalgia for when the season commanded long evenings listening to music. […] A welcome addition to any seasonal collection.“ Downbeat (US) „Echoes of Swing eröffnen mit frischem, nie altbackenem Sound weite Perspektiven.“ Jazz thing (DE) „Stücke, die wie geschaffen sind für das Hören vor einer warmen Kaminofenkulisse. […] Eine munter und virtuos swingende, und sanft dahingleitende Schlittenfahrt.“ Jazzpodium (DE) „Musik im anspruchsvoll gediegenem Ambiente.“ Image Hifi (DE) „An album warmly suggestive of family gatherings, open fires and tinsel.“ The Cronicle (GB) „Ein spannender Bogen unterschiedlichster musikalischer Wintergrüße.“ Fidelity (DE) „A work of sheer class.“ Jazz Views (GB) |
