Here is a brief quotation from the CD booklet: “The great jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald fascinated me early on. Finally with this CD I am fulfilling a dream of mine – I have always wished to sing her music with my voice. This CD is an homage and a “thank-you” to Ella Fitzgerald for the inspiration she has given me and generations of other singers.” The live concerts of the Andrea Mayer Quartet are full to capacity and the audiences respond enthusiastically to the program. The listeners are captivated by the powerful, natural and warm voice of Andrea Mayer, which she is able to use flexibly and easily over her entire three octave range. Andrea Mayer “swings” with incredible agility; her phrasing and improvisation are smooth and elegant. Never does she forget the bluesy roots of jazz. She feels what she sings and the joy she exudes is contagious! |
