You know how it is \u2014 the weekend, already almost over. So let\u2019s quickly throw today\u2019s quartet into the ring. Each of the following pieces demands heightened attention and a bit of time to listen in peace. – AYANNA WITTER\u2011JOHNSON<\/strong> blends her cello with jazz\/soul alternatives. – ARON!<\/strong> may look innocently into the camera, but there\u2019s plenty going on behind the scenes \u2014 at least a light, easy interplay of pop and jazz. – Meanwhile KURENA ISHIKAWA<\/strong>, with her big bass and singing in Japanese, draws a sweeping sonic arc. Her superb interpretation of Minnie Riperton\u2019s \u201cLes Fleurs\u201d<\/em> adds a wonderful breeze to it all. – Even more soul \u2014 with hip hop and just as much jazz \u2014 defines the terrain on which ZACCHAE\u2019US PAUL<\/strong> lets his songs unfold through \u201cStay\u201d<\/em>. A new album is coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ihr wisst schon! Wochenende. Eher schon Ende. Schnell noch unsere heutiges Quartett in den Ring werfen. Dabei erfodert jede der nachfolgenden Musiken erh\u00f6hte Aufmerksamkeit, und Zeit f\u00fcr H\u00f6ren in Mu\u00dfe. AYANNA WITTER-JOHNSON <\/strong>verbindet ihr Cello mit Jazz\/Soul-Alternativen, ARON!<\/strong> schaut gar unschuldig in die R\u00f6hre, hat es aber faustdick hinter den Ohren – und zumindest locker-leichtes Spiel mit Pop und Jazz im Sinn, w\u00e4hrend KURENA ISHIKAWA<\/strong> mit ihrem gro\u00dfen Bass und in japanischer Sprache den ganz gro\u00dfen Sound-Bogen schl\u00e4gt. Ihre famose Interpretation von Minnie Ripprtons „Les Fleurs“ gibt einen wunderbaren Windrzcj dazu. Noch mehr vom Soul, mit hippem Hop und ebensolchem Jazz, ist das Terrain, auf dem der ZACCHAE’US PAUL<\/strong> mittels „Stay“ seine Songs wirken l\u00e4sst. Neues Album dazu alsbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
