Sabine K�hlich & Laia Genc - A Swinging X-Mas With Friends

Christmas classics sung by Sabine K�hlich and Laia Genc.

Even though the abundance of Christmas records by jazz musicians in recent years has assumed almost inflationary proportions, thankfully a few still stand out that not only fulfill their mission for the festival of love, but also infuse all their passion and anticipation in the music. Vocalist Sabine K�hlich and singing pianist Laia Genc are definitely among them. Swinging X-Mas With Friends, the current album of the successful duo, puts exactly one of the central messages at the centre, namely spending Christmas with family and friends.

Laia Genc remembers that the most beautiful thing was the atmosphere that evolved when they were recording. This was not least due to the numerous friends who actively supported the project. We thought about the people, with whom we've already worked. And with whom we'd love to work. The rhythm group remained the same with Markus Braun (bass) and Andr� Spajic (drums), and it was also supported by Paul Heller (tenor saxophone), Ryan Carniaux and Klaus Osterloh (both trumpets), Matthias Strucken (vibraphone), Bernd Lechtenfeld (trombone), Heiner Wiberny (clarinet) and Martin Scholz (piano/organ).
