Monika Linges Quartet - Songing (Remastered Edition 2015) (2015) [Hi-Res]

„Songing” was recorded and released 1982 , following the applauded debut album ”Floating”. Songing was recorded Direct to Disc, so no overdubs, no corrections could be made. I know only very few singer in the world who would take the risk of that kind of recording. So in any case the music comes along in a different way. Floating was produced in a studio for 10 days using all the technical possibilities and Songing is like a Club session. Here we have a Jazz band with an excellent piano and rhythm section.

After her early success in Germany in the 1980's Monika Linges had a revival in the beginning of the 90`s, starting in the London Jazz-Clubs. The DJs digged out her old recordings and played them in the clubs. Her songs later were licensed to several Compilations in England and Asia.

Because of the new demand both LPs of Monika Linges were reissued and released also on CD. Her records now were re-questioned also outside Europe and were successful a.o. in the USA and Japan. At that time she also was a guest for a recording of Nobukazu Takemura and the Hipsters in the zone. Later her recordings were also released in Japan by Celeste.

Over the years Monika Linges became the best selling Artist of Nabel!
