IN-TANDEM
nh2062
In March 2006, Nagel-Heyer Records released the CD "IN-TANDEM" (Nh 2062) with german female vocalist Susanne Menzel.
"...Ignatzek always succeeds in arousing his audience’s enthusiasm, thanks to his richly nuanced performance on the piano in connection with the original
compositions.
Here he is joined by the wonderful female vocalist Susanne Menzel.
Together with Ignatzek she is making her first steps out in the jazz world, as this fabulous CD is her debut recording. She wrote all the lyrics and with her great sense for words she is making
something special out of Klaus Ignatzek’s original compositions. While listening to the music you will surely understand why 1 + 1 can be much more than just 2. The two leaders are accompanied by a
great band as well."
