Lucia Cadotsch meets UK-based ECM recording artist Kit Downes, bassist Phil Donkin and drummer James Maddren to explore their mutual love of undiscovered song in intimate chamber contexts. Building on their previous work together in SPEAK LOW (with Kit as a guest), they now form this unique trio with Phil and James featuring songs well known and yet to be discovered, as well as some beguiling originals composed by all three musicians. The atmosphere of the concert exudes warmth: Piano, bass, drums and vocals in a relaxed pace. Swiss jazz singer Lucia Cadotsch presents her new quartet for the first time with gentle original compositions and music by Weill and Newman. Lucia Cadotsch is Swiss in her adopted home of Berlin. She studied here and stayed in the city afterwards. In the meantime, Lucia Cadotsch is one of the most sought-after singers in European jazz. With her trio "Speak Low" she has recorded enchanting miniatures of great jazz classics and received very good feedback for them. New band - new possibilities. Now she has teamed up with three English musicians to start something new. She had met all three of them personally years ago and the desire to make music together always arose.

"Remember the name Lucia Cadotsch – you’re going to be hearing a lot of it!“, wrote to the British "Guardian" about the Swiss singer. Together with the Berlin based saxophonist and composer Wanja Slavin - according to SZ an artist "between genius and madness“ - she opens up a whole new chapter with LIUN + The Science Fiction Band: Urban music with dark beats, dazzling synths and pulsating hooks. Wanja Slavin's multilayered orchestral arrangements are contrasted with Lucia’s frank and translucent voice that cuts through the clutter. The result is a phantasmagorical world that mirrors our contemporary state as an absurd, but wonderful combination of natural and virtual elements.“
