New CD, "Disguised as Umbrellas, We Slept"out October 28th, 2008++++now available on Itunes
"Seriously gifted vocalist-composer Monika Heidemann, a jazzer with the heart of a rocker (or is it the other way around?), celebrates the release of her new CD, Disguised as Umbrellas, We Slept, which includes a whole faceful of new songs that combine literate verse, smart attitude and punchy psychedelic-rock textures." -Time Out NY, 10/22/08
"Humor and gloom stroll hand in hand on Monika Heidemann's new album, Disguised As Umbrellas, We Slept. Heidemann works her incantatory magic within a limited yet compelling vocal range, and she's smart enough to get out of the way and let her excellent band -- which includes members of Charlie Hunter's and Me'Shell NdegeOcello's groups -- explore spacier regions of the prog-jazz continuum." - Villiage Voice, 10/17/08
"Something this non-trite and non-cliche should be every musicians' final hope for any creative project's outcome. Bright is a conceptual venture that reveals an understanding of where songs come from." -Jazz Improv Magazine, Nov. 2006
"Outstanding...treasure from this great new singer and her incredible band." -Downtown Music Gallery, 11/11/05
"...this recent release by this talented NYC based vocalist describes the future of the experimental/indie scene that surrounds us today. Many vocalists come forth and want the world to hear their dissimilar approach, but not many of them are actually giving us anything different. Monika Heidemann is one that clearly stands above the rest. " -Inside Connection, Oct. 2006
" Buena banda, buenos temas y Monika...que es...que es una...una...cantante revelacion!" - El Intruso.com, 11/28/05
"On her debut CD, Bright, Monika Heidemann gracefully and clearly delivers her deliciously off-kilter prosody. She has cultivated her own unique style with such conviction that more than one jazz writer has proclaimed the discovery of a new genre." -New Music Box, 2/22/06
"... an access to her private musical garden. A record to discover." -Musiqualite.com, 9/26/06
"Heidemann is busy creating her own totally engrossing musical world that must be heard rather than read about. Bright might just be the beginning of a new genre in search of a name. Highly recommended." -All about Jazz, 12/5/05
