YES AND.

TRIO CD-Release, Of Cabbages and Kings

2 0 2 3

In August 2023 we released our new album, which we recorded at Nummerdrei Studios in Cologne in May 2023. There are a few special things about this release: After Zola left the band for personal reasons, Laura, Rebekka and I decided to go ahead and record the repertoire that we'd been working on for the past three years, just now as a trio formation. We managed to record and release the album within only a few weeks in order to have the CD ready just in time for our concert at this year's Cologne Jazzweek in August 2023. This quick turnover was made possible by the amazing engineer Dominik Ehrl, our mixing queen Nanni Johansson, and our mastering expert Frida Claeson Johansson. Thanks so much for being on board with our crazy schedule. 
We are very proud of this one! It was all recorded live in one room as we stood next to each other with a mic each in front of us, it felt good to be focused and present and creative together. The album is short and sweet and it contains seven original compositions including two beautiful poems by Ingeborg Bachmann and Hannah Arendt that we set to music.

"... Stimmen wie Irrlichter, die ohne Effekte effektvoll klingen..."

Jury Burghausener Jazzpreis 2018

"... das konkurrenzlos kunstvolle A-Cappella-Damenquartett Of Cabbages and Kings (das legendäre Vorbilder wie Vocal Summit mindestens erreichte, wenn nicht übertraf) ..."

Süddeutsche Zeitung, Oliver Hochkeppel

"Of Cabbages and Kings vereint vier Musikerinnen, die ihre eigenen Persönlichkeiten und musikalischen Ziele auf einen faszinierenden gemeinsamen Nenner bringen." 

Anja Buchmann, Deutschlandfunk

 

"Jeder Ton sitzt, ob a cappella, polyphon oder im Satz."
