Soulmates by Susanne Menzel & Klaus Ignatzek with the Bremen Philharmonic Strings

Gershwin and Gershwin. Lennon and McCartney. Some of the best music and lyrics ever.

Beautiful Gershwin and Beatles songs presented by one of Germany’s most beautiful female jazz singers and a band of internationally known musicians plus the members of the Bremen Philharmonic Strings. There is hardly any way not to enjoy this music. While listening to this CD you will definitely be all excited with joy as the audience was on this very special night.

"A must-have for all jazz fans, but also for music lovers who keep thinking that jazz is only the music for an intellectual minority and it’s more fun playing it than listening to it … Highly recommended.“
- Kultura-Extra

"...Ignatzek always succeeds in arousing his audience’s enthusiasm, thanks to his richly nuanced performance on the piano in connection with the wonderful Gershwin and Beatles compositions. Here he is joined by the outstanding female vocalist Susanne Menzel ... If you enjoy a solid driving jazz recording performed by a dynamic group combined with gorgeous strings, Soulmates should be on your playlist."
