| Lucia Cadotsch releases renditions album of Speak Low // vocal-jazz-(electro) // (April 28, 2017 enja/yellowbird records) Swiss vocalist Lucia Cadotsch released the much-noticed debut album Speak Low in February 2016. A vocal jazz trio album with Otis Sandsjö on tenor saxophone and Petter Eldh on bass. Now, one year later, a renditions album of Speak Low will follow up. For this project she invited musical soulmates to re-edit her fascinating album. The result is a progressive mixture between jazz and electronica. We really like it! Press Quotes: THE GUARDIAN, John Fordham: "Remember the name Lucia Cadotsch – you're going to be hearing a lot of it." JAZZWISE, Kevin Le Gendre: "Swiss vocalist Lucia Cadotsch serves subtle sentiment at The Vortex." Artist: Lucia Cadotsch Title: Speak Low Label: enja/yellowbird records Distribution: Please ask for distributor in your country Cat.No: yeb-7761 On CD and Download Release Date: February 2016 Lucia Cadotsch - Speak Low We all have "musical soulmates", i.e. artists who resonate with us deeply. Listening to their music feels like home because it makes us sink into our very bones. Many of these wonderful beings are alive, they move in step with us – note for note – creating sounds to make sense of this particular stretch of time and space. Others, communicate with us from beyond the abyss. They broadcast via archival recordings and film footage, yet sound as potent as ever. The cumulative effect of all these inspiring beings on who we are, as people, and as artists, is undeniable. Fingerprints on glass. With Speak Low, the first LP released under her own name, Lucia Cadotsch decided to send a message back to her soulmates from a distant musical past. It was a thank you letter of sorts written to the likes of Billie and Nina. For this, she chose the most iconic and honest songs ever penned and recorded – the types that give you goosebumps every time you hear them – and shaped them until they not only became pliable, but eventually, fully hers.

The idea was to involve artists at the current vanguard; musicians whom she also considers her family and musical soulmates. She chose individuals who are dear to her, who have a strong artistic vision, who are progressive, unique and honest with their work – and make singular, uncompromising music. The intent, this time around, was to take the stems from Speak Low and offer them up for the wildest interpretations, hence unlocking more potential, musical futures. From the 10 artists who were contacted, not only all of them agreed to participate, but every one of them submitted a gorgeous version. The beauty of Speak Low renditions lies not only in showcasing some of the most interesting music happening at the frontiers of modern Jazz (and its offshoots), but that it's actually a wonderfully cohesive and dramatically balanced musical journey.
