Lisbeth Quartett © Jochen Quast
The band members come from diverse backgrounds which they manage to harmonize most elegantly; Founder and saxophonist Charlotte Greve has a distinct talent for evoking balladesque moods, with beautiful melodic lines and precisely chiselled details. Besides her own compositions plus a few jazz standards, some pieces penned by pianist Manuel Schmiedel round up the repertoire. Bassist Marc Muellbauer throws in a kaleidoscope of moods and drummer Moritz Baumgärtner is an adventurous commuter between jazz, alternative rock and electronica.
“Charlotte is a great young player. She possesses a lot of ability and passion at a very young age. Beautiful sound and intonation. Her ballad playing especially is wise way beyond her years. Nice writing with a balance of standards sprinkled in. A very good first recording. A career I'll be following closely.”
