Jazz Podium December 2004 Matthias Weiller. Between the tradition of the Great American Songbook and the better class of pop song there's no shortage of women singers - some acclaimed as new divas while others, measured against Ella & co, are found wanting. But only a few women are carving out new paths of a contemporary vocal jazz. Now Laurie Antonioli is pulling these strands together. In Graz she met the Serbian bassist Nenad Vasilic and made him the backbone of her band; three of the pieces on this album are from his pen. The band is competed by an Albanian guitarist, a drummer from New York and the saxophonist Johannes Enders from Munich, who is known as one of the most versatile German jazz musicians.
