Nighthawks - ONLY (Vocal Tunes 2004 - 2016)

German nu-jazz group Nighthawks achieved some wonderful results in the long career creating vocal tunes, now for the first time they are presented together on the compilation 'ONLY: Vocal Tunes 2004-2016'.

The band has invited selected singers to the studio over the years, which certainly changed the sound of the band, bringing in other influences from across the world. For example there was the great Polish singer Anna Maria Jopek and Sting guitarist Dominic Miller on the track Male Tesknoty, or the Serbian singer Emilia Istvan with the Balkan anthem Ederlezi. Besides that, US singer Shannon Callahan and De-Phazz singer Pat Appleton with some cool-lounge performing. The Brazilian Patricia Cruz adds a feathery light number and Jeff Young from Los Angeles, long-time member of Jackson Browne, Steely Dan and Bonnie Raitt, performs marvelously on Happy Days.

The collection features a total of eleven groove accentuated vocal tracks that fit perfectly to the summer and classics like Descend, Here we are, Define the day, relaxed tunes like A California, vocals by Dal Martino, the producer and bassist of the Nighthawks blend in. Another unforgettable track sis their cover of the Bob Dylan classic Man in the long black coat. This compilation is a 'got to have' for the sunny days of the year.
