Vocal / Post-Bop. With Swiss-born Anne Czichowsky a brilliant vocal star is rising high above the European scene. Although deeply rooted in straight-ahead jazz, she radiates a very present-day yet warm feel through her sparkling artistry. Stuttgart resident Czichowsky unites in her current quintet seasoned calibers, who hail from all across southern Germany. And this combo enthuses thanks to close-knit interplay, with its leader taking off on several stunning scat flights. The album's title, Play On Words, refers to another of Czichowsky's skills for she proves great craftmanship in vocalese, a technique wherein lyrics are written to existing instrumental jazz themes or even solos. The future seems very bright indeed for this remarkable voice!
