Swisss vocalist Miriam Klein first came into the public eye when she performed in Paris in the 1950s with Dexter Gordon, Pierre Michelot, Don Byas and Art Simmons. Later she attended Music School in Vienna and went back to Switzerland to work with the ensembles of her husband, trumpeter and guitarist Oscar Klein. It was in the 1960s and 1970 that she became known internationally. In 1978 her album 'By Myself' was produced by concert management tycoon Horst Lippmann for the L+R label. Lippmann: This is the NEW Miriam Klein confident of her own way of singing. A Miriam Klein By Herself hence the album title. Jazz critic Markus Woelfle: It is her best recording and if she were an American lady and not a Swiss this album would be the pride of everyone's vocal collection. 

The emotional power of her voice and the rich shadings of her interpretations are highlighted by the perfect accompaniment of her inspired sidemen Roland Hanna and George Mraz. It is rare that a pianist offers such perfection and musical additions to a singer - the solos are brilliant and of perfect architecture without overpowering the vocalist. Miriam Klein celebrated her last triumph on her saxophonist son David's 'My Marilyn' album (ENJ-9422) and the label is proud to now present 'By Myself' for the first time on CD. http://akmuzik.com.tr/ak/catalog/showalbum.asp?album=JNKPMPQPO
