This live release is a fresh, energetic and unique approach to jazz standards and songs from other genres, recorded with legendary musicians from the US. Jazz vocalist Simone Kopmajer gathered a team of Terry Myers, Ron Teixeira, Rabbit Simmons and Reinhardt Winkler to compile an album of jazz favorites. She puts her spin on John Lennon’s “Imagine” and includes the jazz standard “Tea For Two”.
Daughter of a family of Austrian musicians, Simone Kopmajer began singing with her father’s band and studying piano and voice at age twelve. Over the last years, she rose up through the various systems of support for jazz in Europe – talent competitions, officially-subsized orchestras and festivals. She studied formally in Graz, Austria, where two of the foremost jazz vocal educators, Mark Murphy and Sheila Jordan, have long-term teaching residencies, made her US debut in 2000, and has worked all over the world. Simone has worked with jazz giants such as George Mraz, Houston Person, Dick Oatts, John di Martino, Victor Lewis, James Genus,… and has played at well known Jazz Festival all over the world.
