Stefanie Schlesinger - vocal, Wolfgang Lackerschmid- vibes / gramorimba, Bob Degen - piano, John Lee - bass, Karl Latham - drums, Roger Squitero - percussion, Slide Hampton - trombone, Hendrik Meurkens - harmonica, Johannes Faber - trumpet on her new album "Angel Eyes" Schlesinger goes a step further than most of her singing colleagues.

It presents not only promising new songs (most composed by her musical director and vibraphonist, Wolfgang Lackerschmid), but provides the "standards" in unusual and highly surprising arrangements. Or who would ever "Angel Eyes" heard as bluesy 5/4 strokes and Michel Legrand's "The Way He Makes Me Feel" (from the movie "Yentl") as R & B Waltz? Anyway: "Angel Eyes" is not just the album a good singer plus band. It is also an album full of great solos and brilliant instrumental moments.Including the trombone Champion Slide Hampton, piano wizard Bob Degen and harmonica master Hendrik Meurkens - For the combined forces of some live jazz legends care. There are a lot of music to be discovered between the singing verses. Translate by google  http://hipjazz.net/angeleyes

Stefanie Schlesinger received her first piano lessons at age 9 and started studying classical singing at age 12. In 2002 she took her finals at the Music Academy Augsburg/Nuremberg as a "diploma singer" after also getting lessons in acting, playing the piano and elocution. Stefanie not only appeared in musical and opera productions but also premiered solo works of contemporary classical music. Further experiences include classical choir singing, gospel workshops with Ronnell Bey and jazz ensemble singing with Holli Ross. For quite a while now, 25-year-old Schlesinger has been feeling at home as a jazz vocalist. Thanks to her technical skills and unusual sensibility for melodies and lyrics, she offers a special magic of her own. Again and again, her fragile and melancholy art of ballad singing has been moving audiences to tears.

Because of her thoroughly trained voice and her love for subtle details Stefanie is able to master even difficult and rare songs con bravura and create emotional images of beauty full of warm and tender colors. For her international debut CD "What Love Is" Stefanie Schlesinger chose a mixture of exquisite standard songs and Brazilian moods. She comes up with her own lyrics for Carla Bley's "Sing Me Softly Of The Blues" and also shows her "classical side" on "Laudate" accompanied by the vibraphone and a string quartet. The musicians involved are select individual players who - in changing line-ups - react with empathy to this young singer's distinctive nuances. The outstanding American-European rhythm trio of Bob Degen, Isla Eckinger and Jarrod Cagwin has already proven its worth on the last recordings by Dusko Goykovich ("In My Dreams", ENJ-9408 2) and Charlie Mariano ("Deep In A Dream", ENJ-9423 2). The full band is completed by Brazilian guitar player Pedro Tagliani and - of course - the sophisticated vibes and marimba player Wolfgang Lackerschmid who also brought in some of his very refined and emotional compositions like "Why Shouldn't You Cry", "I Wish", "Baiao Kathrin", "Watch You Sleepin'" and "Laudate".
