This review of Renate Reich's first solo album "Devil May Care" sums up what characterizes the Austrian jazz singer and her band collective. Initially, it was mainly jazz standards that were dressed up in original garb ("Love For Sale"), but in the albums that followed, the artist devoted herself more and more to songwriting: "Home" and "So Full Of Life" contain mainly her own material, in which she draws an imaginative arc from singer-songwriter to jazz singer, following on from her first work with the acoustic quartet "Palmina Waters".
"...In short, her voice has a soul." Jörg Konrad, Jazzpodium
She has a special love for the double bass: she performed with George Farmer as a duo in the Jazzspelunke at a young age. In 2019, she visited him in New York for new recordings ("It's Probably Me"). For her latest album "Bad Habits", she was able to win over the renowned Californian bassist Glen Fisher, with whom she recorded a jazzy version of the Police classic "Roxanne" in San Diego in 2024.
On this evening at Porgy & Bess, the singer will present songs from her latest album "Bad Habits" for the first time and celebrate a special birthday with an anniversary concert to which she has invited important companions from her musical career. We are looking forward to top-class musicians who will only be heard in this composition on this special evening!
"A good song gets by with very little. With voices and guitars, for example. The rest is made up." Renate Reich
