  • Description

    'Compass' is a voyage at many levels: through music and text, with images evoking the freshness of sea air and the colours of wildflowers. A voyage through polar extreme of jazz - from Chick Corea to Sun Ra, through folk song in the slipstream of Luciano Berio, through poetry of James Joyce and William Carlos Williams.

    Also a journey through subtly undulating chamber music, improvised and otherwise. Through it all, Susanne Abbuehl's cool, undemonstrative-yet-strangely-mesmeric voice is the unifying factor. She sings and speaks and whispers directly into the listener's ear: an intimate, 'interior' voice, singing like thinking aloud. Recorded 2003 and 2004.

    Personnel: Susanne Abbuehl (voice); Christof May (clarinet, bass clarinet); Michel Portal (clarinet); Wolfert Brederode (piano); Lucas Niggli (drums, percussion)
