Lucia Cadotsch’s ‘Speak Low Renditions’ is Bold and Refreshing
Jazz music has definitely gone through its share of phases over the years. Whilst a resurrected interest in the genre manifested through late 80s and 90s Hip-Hop, as well as the rare groove and acid jazz scene of the same period, the music slowly took backseat to various modern and not so modern forms of music. However, in this day and age, it takes an almost Godsent act to be able to brilliantly bridge the gaps between the past and present, doing it in a manner that is classically respected and currently accessible. Perhaps Swiss singer Lucia Cadotsch was sent down from the Heavens. With her 2016 critically acclaimed 'Speak Low' LP placing the singer among the top tier list of current jazz singers, her latest record 'Speak Low Renditions' perfectly restructures the album into experimental works of art that sounds like nothing else at the moment.
