Riedel, Sarah
Memories Of A Lost Lane
Sarah Riedel is characteristic; thought-out, elegant and emotional. With a reflecting voice, a lingering frasing and a natural diction her songs seem to float in the direction of the listener. The refined arrangements for string quartett and jazz trio gets a hold in every context and becomes an engulfing whole for the listener; a world full of detail in wich the musicians sensitively approaches the very essence of the music. Sarah Riedel lets the lyrics come out and leave their mark on the music; the poetic and the bizzare provides this cd with both character and strength. Sarah Riedel has for some years now gotten much attention as a singer. In February she was nominated for the Swedish Radios prestigious Jazzkatten-award. Sarah Riedels debut album consisting of solely original material will be released. Sarah has done it brilliantly; the music, sometimes beautiful, sometimes bold and tense, is very current. Memories of a lost Lane holds great expectations; this detailed album speaks strongly for that Sarah Riedel, with her natural presence on stage and her musical integrity, will go far.
