Musical variety the ear pleasing instrumental as vocal stocked Liedermixtur of old and new as well as in the broadest sense jazz, pop and classical grazing beautiful arrangements makes. For these features in most cases Brönner in Cooproduktion with Christian von Kaphengst responsible. Kaphengst is known as a bass player and founder of the jazz quartet Cafe du Sport (of the moreover also the renowned guitarist Bruno Müller one of the party's), he has already worked with many greats of showbiz and accompanied the duo Marshall & Alexander for many years. Lutz Häfner stand them for the arrangements of the Symphonie-Orchester Berlin aside. In audible experience all in all a very fruitful cooperation.
A first-class crew leaves the smoothigen poinsettia then also nice sparkle - are:
-.. The now quite already legendary to be designated Grammy Award-winning New York Voices sing Santa Claus with her typical in the tradition of Manhattan Transfer and similar vocal groups "Phil-Harmonie" (no. 3).
- The often compared with Stevie Wonder singer (and pianist) Frank McComb, sets the dunkelrauchigsten, astringent, yet very soulful beats Soul Album (no. 6).
- Living in Germany R & B singer and entertainer (such as Starlight Express in Bochum, Pomp Duck & Circumstance in Berlin) Stevie Woods, the one traditionally held Wonderland with jazzy accents, (no. 9).
- The No. 11 in the pianist Don Crusin accompanied Kim Sanders -. A friendly resident of Berlin with cultivated-clear, some tinged velvety soul voice. In the past it was at Brönner Live Tour Thats Summer here or in the background at the A Night in Berlin, previously sang in front of Culture Beat and working with Peter Heppner / Stiller. As Curtis also made his name as a songwriter (Debut Album 2003: Pretty on Edge).
- The Jazz Singer Curtis Stigers, of 12 a melancholy remembrance awakens Christmas in No.. He landed on his excursions into pop specialist in the 90s the international top ten hit "I Wonder Why".
- The only addition to all the Americans German solo artist of all, a wonderfully cuddly einbringene Yvonne Elliman, for very specifically Better than Christmas (no. 7) was, among other things written by Grusin, secondly Frank Chastenier (WDR Big Band), the Brönner accompanied trumpet in the instrumental no. 10 at the piano and was moreover also involved in some of the arrangements.
In no. 2 (analogue in the above clip) and 4 Brönner breathed then even delicate flaky xmas feeling into the microphone.
The otherwise interspersed purely instrumental pieces are nestled seamlessly. . In particular, No. 1 and 5 are in addition Brönner trumpet inserts sounded nice and voluminous getragen.Glitzernde from Symphonie-Orchester snow crystals under the blue sky - (no. 8) of the newly composed by Bronner and Kaphengst Song Notes On Snow leaves the one of the top acts of Smooth -Jazz scene belonging trumpeter Chris Botti (Christmas Album 2006: "December") to enter into a symbiosis with the Sting guitarist Dominic Miller and native Argentines who can give his weakness for gentle, almost esoteric sounds here.
With Ault lang syne (old long since -. No. 13), and thus the final song of the normal edition of the album comes out the old year with a very wistful chords in the true sense of this especially in the English-speaking world of the year sung hymn to end. The two bonus tracks of the special edition grab Christmas (no. 14) very melancholic (three such held songs consecutively appear to me almost a bit too much) and the initial desire of the album with ultimately radiant tones (no. 15) again on.
Although I have bought the Limited, but could actually also good to not just fully stocked bonus disc dispense (above-described with song clip, the making of which you can also view at Amazon and a pretty 9 photos small geratenen, two times repetitive Gallery). Bronner-A fans are sure Probably not renounce and as a present she is in any case before a real eye-catcher.
A certainly not only for jazz lovers recommendable album that you look at - is determined not listen and give in 10 years - according Brönner idea.
