- Interviews in Sydney, Amsterdam, San Francisco, Gresham, Denver...

A two hour live interview has been broadcast in Amsterdam in February 2010 with Marjoleine Leene in the Jazzcorner of RTV Amstelveen. A cut of the two hour programme you can find here: >>> mp3

On the 16th of June 2010 there has been an interview on Coast FM 963 in Gosford/Sydney in Australia. >>> mp3

More interviews have been done for Ric Mancuso´s `Nighttracks´ at KMHD/Gresham/OR and for Gallery 41 in San Francisco with Ron Pelletier.

- Radio mix of "So You Got Hope"

Jürgen Lusky, mastering engineer at House of Audio has chosen the track "So you got hope" from Spirit'n'Jazz for a new mix. There is no cut and paste and no boombox going like in the remix scene. It is a stylish, jazzy mix focussing a bit more on the vocals of Leyla Tugal with an atmospheric sound picture. And it could be the right time for this track. "The world goes mad and we are right in the midlle", Jürgen says. >So you got hope< gives a bit of a relief of that madness and some hope and peace… Full length mp3 128 kBps: >>>

- Spirit'n'Jazz on Radio HR 2, Germany

German National Radio "Hessischer Rundfunk" in Frankfurt has played Spirit'n'Jazz in the culture programme HR 2. This would not be very unusual if they would not have combined the track "Time with Laura" with works of Ludwig van Beethoven and Georg Friedrich Händel in one programme hour. D|H Records says "Many Thanks" for the implicit valuation. - Playlist HR2 >>>

- The weightiest CD-review so far comes from Florida

It´s Florida again, where the CD "Can you see…?" has been good for five No.1s at World´s Cool Jazz. But this time it is Alan Olmstead, experienced Jazz-programmer from WXJZ, who has done a very nice review of „Where are you?":

„Clean and simple contemporary jazz with a European flair featuring the delightfully innocent vocal style of Leyla Tugal... reminiscent of Astrud Gilberto in the 60's." - Alan Olmstead, Kaleidophonic Jazz, WXJZ-FM, Gainesville, Florida, USA. - All reviews so far: >>>

- New CD „Where are you?" from Spirit'n'Jazz - out now

With their previous CD "Can you see…?" Spirit'n'Jazz achieved critical acclaim and high radio rotations as well as five number 1s in radio charts (4 x World´s Cool Jazz in Florida, 1 x QFM Tenerife). Therefore, there was a lot of pressure for the next production. Because All About Jazz in Italy had titled their review "Jazz goes Pop goes Jazz" it was logical to give the new CD a very high standard of studio production whilst, at the same time, retaining the improvisational style of the music. The two pre-releases from the new CD "Where are you?": title track "Where are you?" and "Treasure" spontaneously went into the Top 10 of QFM Tenerife (No. 1+ 2) followed by "Two" and "Life Dance" on No. 2 and No. 7 in November 09. - more information >>> Info-pdf >>>

- New Top 10 placements for Spirit'n'Jazz

In 2008/09 Spirit'n'Jazz achieved some exceptional placements with tracks from their CD "Can you see…?" Since 21 months there are different tracks from the CD "Can you see…?" in the Top 10 of "World´s Cool Jazz" in Florida. After "Yule Tied" had been on No.1 for 18 weeks, "Do You Feel It" directly followed for 12 weeks. "China Sunrise" has been the third No.1 in April/May 09 before "Information Politics" went to No.1 at WCJZ in October 09.

Three further No.1 placements appeared on InstrumentNetwork.com until December 2008 by the tracks "Voice of Reason" and "Information Politics" in their various forum-charts. Together with "Treasure" on No.1 at Radio QFM Tenerife for four weeks there are all together eight No.1 placements of Spirit'n'Jazz-tracks in 2008/09 backed up by more top ten positions. Latest Top 10 placements are achieved by two tracks from the new CD "Where are you?" at QFM Tenerife. "Two" and "Life Dance" both went up to No.2.

> Spirit'n'Jazz Interview on „D-Radio Kultur", Berlin

It took seven months until an interview with Spirit'n'Jazz to the Christian-Islamic dialogue produced by Thilo Guschas has been broadcasted. This Interview shows, how easy and positive this dialogue between Christians and Muslims can be. Without any suspicion, fear and hostility, but with many commonalities, especially in ethics, and a big hospitality. - A contribution to a culture of honesty and love. - The interview in German (07.02.2009 D-Radio Kultur) as an mp3: >>>

> CD-single "Treasure" on No.1 at QFM Tenerife

In November 08 Spirit'n'Jazz have been releasing a CD-single online that addresses the current global financial crisis. And this has jumped on No.1 straight away at QFM Tenerife/Spain and stayed there for four weeks.

The single track "Treasure" was created in March 2008 and it is right on the theme of speculative operations and the acute international situation.
The track is Jazz-Pop crossover featuring Leyla Tugal on vocals, and it is suitable for Jazz or Pop programs alike. Further information: >>>

> Cooperation with Sommer Cable

Searching for the highest sound quality Gunter Hauser was testing cables in his studio. And because of very good technical data he ordered some units from Sommer Cable. In between he is convinced that some of the Sommer cables are among the very best available. You can hear the quality on the CDs from Spirit'n'Jazz. Derek Crehan´s guitar was amplified via a Sommer Spirit XXL- and it´s not only the name, that has convinced here;-). And Leyla's vocals have been recorded via Sommer Galileo and CarboCab. Pascal Miguet, product manager at Sommer Cable, commented on the CD "Can you see…?": "This production is so good, without any doubt it can serve as a reference for high quality HiFi systems." more at >>> www.sommercable.com

> Spirit'n'Jazz on airplays worldwide:

To be played on radio stations in New York is showing some relevance, even more so, when you are into intercultural dialog after 9/11. With 86 radio stations from Australia to California and good reviews Spirit'n'Jazz are collecting international acknowledgement. For 21 months tracks from the CD >Can you see...?< have been in the Top 10 at World´s Cool Jazz in Florida, USA. - more >>>
