雅瑟琴音

2002年来自德国著名发烧爵士女声Lisa Wahlandt和萨克斯风名家Mulo Francel和一众德国著名的乐手(如竖琴家Evelyn Huber德国著名吉他手Robert Wolf，和其他我不熟悉的Robert Kainar, Rüdiger and Gerwin Eisenhauer, D.D. Lowka.,Christian Diener and Borel de Sousa)在新加坡海湾大剧院举行的一场精彩非常,令人心醉沉迷的周未Bossa Nova爵士音乐会.

专辑的英文介绍:
Lisa Wahlandt´s and Mulo Francel´s concert at The Esplanade

Dizzy with delight was how singer Lisa Wahlandt and tenor saxophonist Mulo Francel left 1.000 or so Singaporean jazz lovers at The Esplanade over the weekend. Their two-hour eclectic jam session - culminating in two standing ovations and three encores - was ostensibly a tribute to Bossa Nova pioneers Stan Getz and Astrud "The Girl From Ipanema" Gilberto.

But the evening was to be much, much more than just a salute to heroes. Hailing mainly from Germany, Wahlandt, Francel and their three-man band proved to be endlessly inventive musicians, surprising the audience at every turn with novelties such as Austrian percussionist Robert Kainar´s polite quacks with a duckbill-like mouth instrument.

They even threw in a few songs they had written, notably Wahlandt´s cooing lullaby "You Are A Flower and Francel´s light and whimsical ditty about a prude, titled As Everyone Knows, I´m Old-Fashioned.

Their seamless and intuitive music making together created a sound very reminiscent of the British band led by jazz royalty John Dankworth and his wife Cleo Laine. What sets Wahlandt and Francel´s act apart from the all-too-big pool of Captain And Tennille-like duos today, though, is their uncanny knack of blending a God-blessed voice (hers) with the sassy, brassy toots from clarinet and saxophone (his) into lush, sublime harmonies.

Poetic sensibilities in near flawless phrasing made anything Wahlandt sang like a soundtrack to a sultry afternoon spent watching boats cruise downriver, with sunlight glittering on the water...

... Singapore should be so lucky if this band returns again and again.
