The Berlin singer Lisa Bassenge is one of the best German jazz singers. In addition to her recordings with her "Lisa Bassenge Trio", she has worked with musicians such as Pee Wee Ellis, Fred Wesley, Nicola Conte, Demba Nabé, Stuart Staples (Tindersticks) and the WDR Big Band. She now teams up with one of the most famous producers: Larry Klein. Larry has produced albums like "My One and Only Thrill" by Melody Gardot, "The Joni Letters" by Herbie Hancock (Grammy "Album of the Year"), "Oceana" by Till Brönner (his most successful album to date), "Careless Love" by Madeleine Peyroux, among many other international gold and platinum albums. The album's theme is Los Angeles. Lisa and Larry have chosen some classic and hidden hits from the golden age of songwriting in Los Angeles: "Riders on the Storm" (The Doors), "For What It's Worth" (Buffalo Springfield) and songs written and performed by James Taylor, Tom Waits, The Beach Boys, Rickie Lee Jones, etc. The result is "Canyon Songs" - a sensitive, jazzy, melancholic, yet trendy and cool production. She is accompanied by exceptional musicians such as trumpeter Till Brönner, guitarist Thomas Dybdahl, or drummer Vinnie Colaiuta.
