CD: I Love Lee
Susanna Bartilla
release date: 13 Mar 2013
Berlin-born vocalist Susanna Bartilla is an alumna of the renowned Paris school for improvised music and has published several critically acclaimed albums of standards.
Creating an instantly recognizable and thrilling sound and feel, she infuses classic West Coast cool jazz vocals (think Peggy Lee, Anita O’Day, June Christy…) with the Parisian rive gauche charm of a Juliette Greco and the sultry allure of « Blue Angel » Marlene Dietrich, her fellow Berliner.
Susanna is that rare singer whose stage presence radiates genuine human warmth and who instantly bonds with the audience to put them under her spell. They become her loyal allies in the pursuit of musical happiness and a true emotional experience.
Her rich, vibrant voice is the perfect vehicle for her repertoire of songs where melody and lyrics conspire to tell real life stories that resonate with us all. She has the natural ability to make each song her own and to make the words come vividly alive to every listener.
Susanna has performed at many of Europe’s best jazz clubs – not least in Paris (Sunset, Petit Journal, Baiser Salé…) and Berlin (A-Trane, B-flat, ZigZag…) where she is a regular.
