Info for Spotlight on Jazz

"Spotlight On Jazz" is Simone Kopmajer´s stunning new solo album that finds her returning to her roots. The album features the leader of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra jazz saxophonist Terry Myers, pianist Paul Urbanek, guitarist Martin Spitzer, bassist Karl Sayer and drummer Reinhardt Winkler on a 13-song set that presents 7 new originals alongside covers of songs like "Mood Indigo", "Pennie´s From Heaven" & "Exactly Like You".

"Of the standards, “Pennies From Heaven” is recast as a jazz waltz, “Poinciana” retains the essence and rhythm of Ahmad Jamal’s version, and “Exactly Like You” finds Kopmajer scatting a fine horn-like chorus. The Louis Armstrong-associated “Struttin’ With Some Barbecue” infrequently is accompanied by vocals, but this rendition might lead some to reassess the song. “Mood Indigo” and a relaxed “Stompin’ At The Savoy” wrap up this satisfying set."
