When Simone Kopmajer got together with Terry Myers (leader of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra) for a "Vienna Session" in 2023, they didn't expect a completely new album to come out of it.
"Hope" contains brand new original material in a mellow and relaxed, jazzy mood as well as cover songs such as "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" (Otis Redding), "Careless Whisper" (George Michael) and jazz standards such as "Pick Yourself Up", "What a Difference a Day Makes" and "Old Devil Moon". Hope is generally very important to Simone Kopmajer and something she is always looking for in her daily life. Accompanied by jazz saxophonist Terry Myers, pianist Paul Urbanek, bassist Karl Sayer and drummer Reinhardt Winkler, Simone Kopmajer captures the classic vibe and also draws the songs from her own songbook. Kopmajer's sound is somewhere between jazz, swing and tasteful pop. Although her music is very relaxed, flowing and elegant, it is also very playful and varied. (press release)
