LISA WILHELM QUARTETT
POTPURRI (BERTHOLD RECORDS)
The Lisa Wilhelm Quartett's debut album POTPOURRI is "...not just for jazz audiences," says Wilhelm herself.
"We want to give a whole range of music lovers a really nice experience." Wilhelm's compositions are playful, controlled and melodic - a modern sound, yet influenced by the New York jazz scene as well as film music with which she grew up.
The drummer, who leads the band and who composed all the tracks, says that the filmic influences are reflected in the titles of the songs.
"I took quotes from movies I've seen and really liked, quotes which stuck in my mind. I liked the notion of putting them together as a potpourri, hence the album title."
