LUAH

Lebensfrohe Leichtigkeit trifft sanfte Sehnsucht: Nach „Sunlit“ und „Movimento“, ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Jazzpreis 2023, veröffentlicht das Kölner Vocaltrio LUAH um Elsa Johanna Mohr nun sein drittes Album. Mit „Equilibrio“ (GLM Music) machen sich die drei Musikerinnen auf die liebevolle Suche nach Gleichgewicht und balancieren darin unterschiedlichste Stile und Stimmungen behutsam aus.

Diese Ausgewogenheit schöpft aus einer reichen Vielfalt. Neu ist dabei nicht nur ein erweitertes Instrumentarium, sondern auch die Beteiligung von Lena-Larissa Senge und Ula Martyn-Ellis am Songwriting. Dadurch entsteht ein reicher Eklektizismus, der immer wieder für musikalische Überraschungen sorgt.
