A TIME FOR LOVE is from my album 'Gypsy Dream' , which was the second album I recorded. I feel very honored to have the wonderful Fritz Pauer on it. It was an extraordinary experience for me to record with a Jazz legend like him. Fritz also contributed the beautiful arrangement of 'A Time For Love' as well as others on the full album - which you can listen to here on youtube: • GYPSY DREAM - full jazz album stream - Mel...
Johannes Enders has been a very special friend for me over decades now. He helped me a lot to get this music finally recorded. And to hear the sound of his sax on this recording makes me shiver to this very day.Christian Diener played the most beautiful bass for me on the recording. Just listen to how he sets his first note in 'Promise'. Wow!
And last but not least Rick Hollander, who gave his talent and inspiration during the recording date that kept the energy up and flowing so beautifully.
Finally my ever favorite Danilo Zenko put it all together with his sound magic and made it all shine.
I hope you take as much joy out of this recording as I felt producing it.
Love & peace
Melanie
