- Summary:
- The German magazine Stern describes Thomas Quasthoff as 'the man with the most beautiful voice in the world'. Furthermore, his power of interpretation and unerring sense of taste go hand in hand not only when performing Italian arias but also when singing famous American songs. After his performance and recording of 'Tell it like it is' at the famous A-Trane jazzclub in Berlin, 'unbounded cheering' (Die Welt) by the audience had the effect of singling out certain numbers. With each of their appearances in February 2010, Thomas Quasthoff and his hand-picked instrumentalists (Bruno Müller, guitar, Frank Chastenier, keyboard, Dieter Ilg, bass, Wolfgang Haffner, drums) worked their way deeper into these pieces of jazz and soul. Works by Marvin Gaye, Percy Mayfield, Tony Joe White, Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, Ray Charles, Randy Newman, et al. Songs: Percy Mayfield, Lost Mind Marvin Gaye, Mercy, Mercy Me George Davis / Lee Diamond, Tell It Like It Is Tony Joe White, Rainy Night in Georgia Willie Dixon, Seventh Son John Lennon, Imagine Bill Withers, Kissing My Love Randy Newman, Rider in the Rain Michael Quasthoff, The Whistleman Bill Withers, Ain't No Sunshine Stevie Wonder, Have A Talk With God Ray Charles, Hallelujah, I love her so Randy Newman, Short People John Hiatt, Have A Little Faith In Me.
