"Wildflowers"
Lisa Bassenge is back, and she has brought flowers with her. With "Wildflowers", she completes her trio trilogy - with Jacob Karlzon on piano and Andreas Lang on bass, as on her two previous albums.
The songs: seemingly diverse and yet all of a piece. The spectrum on "Wildflowers" ranges from Dolly Parton to Depeche Mode, from Bob Dylan to Death Cab for Cutie. A colorful bouquet, but the way the three arrange and present it, the individual pieces don't seem thrown together, but like chapters of a story. Each shimmers in its own right, but the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
This also applies to the trio itself - especially on stage. The two musicians - Jacob Karlzon from Sweden and Andreas Lang from Denmark - embed Lisa Bassenge's unmistakable voice in a warm, "Scandinavian" sound in the best sense of the word: relaxed, but always engaging; playful, dynamic, energetic, but never intrusive. "This sound has found us," says Lisa Bassenge.
With the "Wildflowers" in their luggage, the three now show once again what a stunning live act they are. Jazz, pop, chanson? The music of the Lisa Bassenge Trio doesn't need to be pigeonholed. It's all about the beauty and truth of the songs, and it's a celebration of inspiration between singer and musicians. Let yourself be intoxicated.
