Martin Lechner is literally a natural talent. Without having ever completed a single singing session, he interprets jazz classics with his characteristic voice and thus gives the songs a convincing independence. His sympathetic appearance, the warm timbre of his voice, the excellent rhythmic feeling as well as his sovereign phrasing, make Martin Lechner an exceptional release. And only a few years ago did he begin singing for his own pleasure. Following "open mic" appearances in 2006, Martin Lechner founds his own band with Swiss musicians. In the meantime, a project has been set up, which has achieved a great deal in a very short time. After his successful debut album "Gentlemen Are Hard To Find", his second litter is "Somethin 'Old & Somethin' New - Somethin 'Else!". ~Google translation

Martin Lechner is literally a natural talent. Without ever having completed a single singing lesson, it interprets jazz - classic with its characterful voice and so gives the songs a compelling originality. His friendly appearance, the warm timbre of his voice, the excellent sense of rhythm and his sovereign phrasing make Martin Lechner is a rare event. And he has started a few years ago for his own pleasure in singing. Following "open mic" - appearances in 2006 Martin Lechner founded his own band with Swiss musicians. Meanwhile, a project was set up, which has reached a poor in a short time very much. After his successful debut album "Gentlemen Are Hard To Find" now follows his second litter "Somethin 'Old & Somethin' New - Somethin 'Else".
On this album Martin Lechner applies the same musical formula, songs in the style of the 50's to arrange and topical issues. The affinity for the Jazz this era is kept very high and combined with elements of modernity, so that something new arises from tradition. Sometimes, these are pieces of Amy Winehouse, Prince, Michael Jackson etc which are equally convincing as the solo contributions of each musician.

Martin Lechner has internalized what he sings. He considers his voice as an instrument with which he expresses sensitively and authentically, depending on the mood, a song. "I'm a gut-singer with a penchant for romance".

With this understanding, it is also approached together with his bandmates to the production of the current CD.
The album was produced in collaboration with Peter Bürli and DRS2. ~Google translation
