Alexandra Lehmler loves the straight and clear words. She has called her previous CD not just like this “No Blah Blah”. Now her new album is released with the concise title „Jazz, Baby!“. And also this time, the saxophonist from Mannheim lets actions follow her words. For her, Jazz is not only a bloodless concept, but music which is alive in the highest measure. And at the latest, while hearing her compositions everybody knows what is meant. For the 34-year-old musician from the southwest of Germany the charm of the jazz lies in the almost endless tonal possibilities. Lehmlers music is the sounding counter evidence that jazz fits in any drawers. Jazz is just what one makes out of it … Jazz is an energy that drives forward. Jazz is music for audience which can feel this magic at Alexandra Lehmler’s concerts already after a few moments. This ensures beside the band leader who plays all saxophones, also her very well-functioning band: with Oliver Maa (piano), Matthias Debu (bass), Max Mahlert (percussion) and Rodrigo Villalon (Percussion) she has not only gotten high-carat improvisation musicians, but also team players. And the unmistakable variable, modern sound of the band lets assume that the five musicians do not only play together since yesterday.
However, Alexandra Lehmler also is at the (jazz) pulse of time because she does not play the classics of the jazz literature to the best, but best plays her own compositions. So again, Alexandra and bassist Matthias Debus have tailored on the body of the quintet their home-made pieces which are as coloured as her musical influence. Sometimes coloured tones of the world music shimmer through, sometimes classical elements sparkle; sometimes it also becomes sounding like rock, filthy and crude. And in the end it is just „Jazz, Baby!“: 100% up-to-date and without compromises.
