Lisa Bassenge Trio

Lisa Bassenge is back with a new live program. She relies on her trusted fellow musicians Jacob Karlzon on piano and Andreas Lang on bass, as on her previous albums.

The songs - as always - are a seemingly wild mix from all corners of the pop, singer-songwriter and jazz universe. And, surprisingly, from a single source. The spectrum ranges from Elliott Smith to Duran Duran, from Billie Holiday to Björk.

Is that possible? "Yes", says the Berlin singer, "it's always about the expressiveness of the songs, that's the thematic bracket for us". So it happens that a Hank Williams song stands next to Madonna's "Frozen" and "Catch" by The Cure. Lisa Bassenge has been cultivating this versatility and openness for over two decades now. Her voice glows and sparkles in all the song interpretations. The basic coloration of the program, however, remains jazz. Lisa's Scandinavian, relaxed sound is softly embedded. Let yourself be guided into a rich cosmos of sound.
