> CD-Reviews from Australia, Germany, Spain and USA

For some weeks you can find the picture of Spirit'n'Jazz-singer Leyla Tugal on the front page of SmoothJazzNow.com. And the CD-Review with interview inside is an example for many good reviews worldwide. Best critiques are for the combination of the extraordinary concept and the musical quality:

- Akbar Nour for SmoothJazzNow, Canada: "...the sensual and hypnotic voice of Leyla Tugal adds a genuine spiritual touch to the various rich musical atmospheres and thematic tracks of "Spirit N'Jazz". And the CD, recorded in an unrehearsed session-like manner, will provide the listeners with rich instrumental tracks, that invite to cool down, relax and reflect on the chaotic world we are living in." - www.smoothjazznow.com

- The German CrossOver-net resumed: "unreserved recommendation" >>>

- In Spain appeared a nice review from QFM >>>

- Ron J. Pelletier, Gallery 41, California: >I am totally "grabbed" by just the first handful of notes. I should let you know that you have a new friend and musical supporter in the San Francisco area.<

- And Desi De from PBS106,7FM, Melbourne, Australia congratulated: „Great improvisations and variety and a very brave concept which I think works very well."

- Peter Merrit from PBS106,7: "Oh this is soooooo good, congratulations. Our jazz announcers are going to go crazy over this, l may not be the biggest jazz fan but l know what l like and l love this release."

- AllAboutJazz Italy, Vittorio lo Conte: "A relaxing work of high quality" >>>

- Peter Burford, Coast FM 96,3, Gosford/Sydney, Australia: "The music has a different sound and feel to other Jazz styles, blending a mix of authenticity, emotion, excitement and yet managing to maintain a very relaxing tempo."

> Video-Clips on YouTube by Vivian Akacie Munk

Vivian Akacie Munk has worked for George Lukas and Star-Wars. Now she is creating Video-Clips for different tracks of the CD „Can you see...?". Vivian has followed the project Spirit'n'Jazz from the very beginning. She discovered premixes on MusicianUnivers and then stayed in steady contact with Derek Crehan. After having experienced the CD-release-concerts in Southern Germany she decided to get active for this project. Her latest Clip for "Dad and I" is a real masterpiece. She arranged the pictures very sensibly expressing the thoughts and emotions behind this track.

The clips for `Can you see...?´, `Time with Laura´ and "Dad and I" are online: www.dhrecords.com/SpiritnJazz/videos.html

Thanks a lot, Viv!

Bridges of love for a small world - international understanding in Jazz

From a background which covers a twelve year co-operation in song-writing and music-production involving English and German musicians a Jazz-project is growing, in which improvised music expresses more, than the musicians themselves would have expected.

These musicians usually sit down and start to jam after talks over dinner about ethical, philosophic and spiritual themes. The musical pieces naturally arising are very strong in expression and make you sense the themes behind them. Music as a spiritual expression does not deliver definitions, therefore it is a versatile means of understanding each other and differing cultures. This musical project was born to visualise those bridges between different ways of living and believing.

In today's world of politics this seems to be necessary especially in the relationship between Christians and Muslims. Therefore this area is addressed in the CD booklet. There are quotations from the Bible and the Koran according to each track title, to make the thoughts of the musicians more transparent and to show the things common in both religions.

Music as the „Voice of Reason" (track 7) in a difficult and chaotic world? Jazz as a possibility for a dialogue on the platform of emotions. Musical communication instead of a „Clash of Civilizations". The title "Can you see...?" is the question within, that says: Can you see those bridges, can you see what it is we have in common, can you see the culture of love...?
