Jazz from Germany (Toppyjazz 529)

Toppyjazz is back from a two week tour through Germany.
We visited Hann. Münden and Colditz.
Nice to see so much Britains visiting the Colditz Castle!

On this first program from Summer 2018 we have a very fine selected group of German musicians.
First Ida Landsberg (Berlin, 1960) singer, piano and songwriter.
Back with us the NDR Big Band with Colin Towns.
Adi Braun (Toronto,1962) is fond of the songs from the Weimar Republic. She made an excellent cd Moderne Frau.
We love the reissue from Die Dreigroschenoper 1958 from Lotte Lenya and Louis Armstrong.
From Heidelberg comes Duo Lagerfeld with the album Verstimmt. Duo Lagerfeld is Stefan Lindenau bass, voice and David Joepgen, guitar, voice. Great album!
