Anette von Eichel’s Kaleidoscopia
A warm evening, somewhere between summer and autumn, in early September, out in the flat countryside of the American South, in the 1930s or 1940s. A radio is playing, the wind gently moves the curtains. Someone sits in a comfortable armchair, listening to jazz on the radio. Piano, saxophone, and vocals—songs telling stories of people, of longing and dreams.
The new edition of Anette von Eichel’s Kaleidoscopia, featuring Marko Lackner on saxophone and Simon Seidl on piano, explores the typical archaic songs of jazz from that era. It is inspired by the original harmonies of the Broadway versions while also incorporating original compositions by the three musicians, which reflect the style of the time. Chamber-like, lyrical jazz, enriched with a modern jazz trio approach and a great joy of playing.
