因为对于60年代的爵士音乐有着共同的喜好,让Bettina Mischke与Roland Grosch两个人走在一起。因为同样好奇的想象:如果老爵士能Update成摩登的面貌会有怎样的风情,于是这六年来,我们有了Jazzamor这支让人难忘的乐团以及他们的曼妙旋律!巧妙的融合了爵士、Bossa Nova、轻松的流行曲调,让来自德国的Jazzamor轻易地在全球的爵士/沙发音乐爱好者之间引起共鸣!

在现下标榜发烧女伶混种芭莎诺瓦,多如过江之鲫的音乐出版中,Jazzamor无疑是辨识度最高的乐团之一!最主要的原因莫过于Jazzamor将更多的心力投注在歌曲的创作上,加上女主唱Bettina细致甜美的歌声,以及搭档Roland擅长罗织空心吉他、热带节奏、电子声响,并且融合成温度适宜,既空灵又温暖的旋律,让每一首歌曲都充满了流动的故事性与鲜活的情绪!像是被Nikon钦点为广告曲的〈Way Back〉,特别为金莎巧克力欧版广告主题曲的〈Beautiful Day〉,都是让人百听不厌的曲目。而Jazzamor的翻唱曲也强烈地放进了自己的风格,包括〈Ain't No Sunshine〉、〈Summertime〉,都将原本歌曲中浓郁的忧愁化成淡如云烟的思绪。而让人惊艳的结尾曲〈Dreamer〉,更让人赞叹Jazzamor原来也擅长于Balearic Chilled-Out这块领域!无论春夏秋冬,Jazzamor的音乐永远是让人放松,感受舒适温度的贴心伴侣!

The Selection:

After six exciting years, BLUE FLAME Records decided to release a CD with the most beautiful songs from Jazzamor - a "selection - songs for a beautiful day" ... taken from the previous 4 albums.

But let's start from the beginning ...

The Beginning:

The love for jazz from the 60s led Bettina Mischke and Roland Grosch together. With the concept to create a new sound with their own arranged cover versions, they toured with their jazz quartet halfway around the world. Always having Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz, Sergio Mendes or film music from Henry Mancini and Ennio Morricone in their suitcase.

The Curiosity:

How does jazz of the 60's sound 40 years later updated? What sounds, with current production possibilities, could be taken for a Bossa-Nova? With these questions in mind, new ideas were conceived in the studio. Amazing was the response to the first own songs for which Blue Flame Records was won as a label for the first release. On 11.05.2002 at 2:39 pm 8.41 east longitude and 50.01 north latitude Jazzamor was founded. A time that was determined through astrology and which consequences would show in the next few years.

The Retreat:

For a year they retreated away from the public and into the studio to develop their own sound. By 2003, fourteen new songs were playfully created, all relaxed and easy as a Sunday-afternoon: "A Lazy Sunday Afternoon."

The Start:

With the worldwide release of Jazzamor's debut album, the song "Way Back" was discovered for an advertising campaign by the company Nikon. Faster than thought, followed concert offerings, especially in Eastern Europe. Arriving in the new Jazzamor "sound world" , the second album was recorded in the following year. More songs in light electronic Latino sound. Jazzamor shows a piece of their heart: "A Piece Of My Heart."

The Travels:

The desire for the new led Jazzamor on a journey, not just at concerts, but also in the studio. Every song on the next album takes place in a certain part of the world. Sometimes it's the language, other times an instrument, a rhythm or a story, which takes the listener on a trip to a foreign country or a city: "Travel ...". (bitte Link auf das Album)

Here and Now:

"Travel ... " was about the experience of being abroad, travelling - not just in a literal sense; the here and now is about farewell and new beginnings after six years of togetherness. Whether it is new production methods, new musicians or something very private, many songs on the latest release reflect this matter. Unlike the previous productions, it was very fast and compressed into just eight weeks. The attraction, to play even more with the opposites of electric sounds and live instruments, was even greater. Music for a "Beautiful Day".
