Judith Berkson: vocal, piano, Wurlitzer, piano Rhodes, Hammond organ

Arresting and highly original ECM solo debut for New York-based singer Judith Berkson, in a programme that features her own idiosyncratic songs and instrumentals, plus jazz standards (Cole Porter’s “All Of You”, George & Ira Gershwin’s “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”), “Der Leiermann” from Schuberts “Winterreise”, Jewish cantorial music, and Yiddish folk song.

Theo Bleckmann: vocals 
Julia Hülsmann: piano    
Tom Arthurs: trumpet, flugelhorn
Marc Muellbauer: double bass
Heinrich Köbberling: drums 

Goods' warm-sounding, fast picking guitar, his flexible phrasing and smooth vocals; Haffner's uniquely bouncy drums; Di Gioia’s wonderful timing and inspirational, effervescent piano and Fender Rhodes; Lefebvre’s concise bass; all of these merge to form distinctively new, convincing interpretations of spirituals and soul classics.
