Description
Stephanie Lottermoser's brilliant and highly anticipated album 'Hamburg', is her follow-up project to 'This Time', which was number two in the German jazz charts in 2018 and which was characterised by Jazzthing, as "containing feather-light songs with a surprising level of thoughtfulness".
There are some decisive differences that set 'Hamburg' apart from the above-mentioned recording: the autobiographical elements in the storyline and the musician's thoughts on important social topics of our time, which had a determining influence on the structure of the songs. the album - does not only focus on the city itself but lets the eye wander further away.
The result is an exceptionally entertaining album, agreeably close to the live sound of the band, intertwining elements of funk, jazz, pop and soul splendidly and of a quality rarely to be found.
