Sounds LikeThe Berlin born Parisian jazz singer Susanna Bartilla is a life long fan of lyricist Johnny Mercer. As a tribute to his centennial, she has compiled a programm of his most beautiful songs and is devoting the whole of 2009 to spreading the word in French, German and British clubs and jazz festivals.

..

6 of the tunes are featured here, recorded in Paris, with Claude Mouton (bass), Joël Bouquet (piano), Sean Gourley (guitar), Pascal Gaubert (sax) and Thierry Tardieu (drums).
"My Shining Hour" was recorded live on 28 June at the Sunside Jazz Club with Alain Jean-Marie on piano, Sean Gourley on guitar and Claude Mouton on double bass.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAY ABOUT MY PREVIOUS CD "So Viel Glück"

JazzHot Magazine
This remarkable record is chockfull of great jazz music. Susanna proves a natural swinger and a very talented singer. Her wonderfully warm voice with velvet low tones tells of singular, precious moments, right out of real life; a brilliant performer with a bright future.
Mônica Passos
A very stylish CD. Susanna sounds like a silky siren with a star-studded, velvety voice.
Prestige Audio magazine
This is my absolute fave CD this month. Susanna Bartilla sings great standards in German as well as English and shows the world that good jazz knows no boundaries. Four Stars!
Radio Jazz Plus
"So viel Glück" is a genuine, pure diamond. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Contact: susanna.bartilla@online.fr

Cliquez ici pour voir le programme des célébrations à Savannah, sa ville natale.

"La gaîté côtoie la mélancolie et l’on est saisi par la pertinence de cette musique, étonnamment actuelle, qui raconte avec des mots justes les vrais thèmes de la vie en quelques mesures."

"Une soirée envoûtante... une palette nuancée et vibrante d'émotions... un enchantement tout en délicatesse" (La République)
"Un coup de cœur…elle swingue formidablement bien avec sa belle voix de contralto veloutée" (Jazz Hot)

"Un concert qui passe trop vite à écouter Susanna, troublante de naturel et de simplicité" (L’Eclaireur)

« Un répertoire magnifique servi par une artiste dont la présence scénique et la générosité procurent de beaux moments de swing, d’émotion et de joie de vivre. »

« Avec sa belle voix de contralto on ne peut plus jazz, veloutée dans les graves et chaleureuse, Susanna nous relate ses moments de grâce, ses instants choisis, avec talent et avec une technique affirmée, passant d'une langue à l'autre avec une apparente facilité. Susanna Bartilla est une chanteuse avec qui il va falloir compter. »
Michel Bedin (Jazz Hot)

susanna .... i'm glad to hear you'd love to do the duets with me. i'm going to see if i can arrange to fly over to hear your band live. somewhere around your sept. or oct. gig in Paris. btw, that's a fabulous rendition of "i remember you." you have a very lovely sound honey. but, you should do (sing) the verse to that song. and, you're quite correct; our voices do work great together ..... duets would be a show stopper.

Susanna:
There is an intimacy associated with the hearing of your offerings...the listener is transported to another time, where the music envelops and the mood brightens – a hopeful wistfulness that is impossible to resist or ignore.
What a pleasure to be serenaded by that voice – I’m especially fond of PS I Love You & Skylark, but Sonntags continues to fascinate and mesmerize me with each hearing.
Warm Regards from “the island”~
