Nina Reiter - Night, Sleep, Death and the Stars (2016)

„With her debut album, Nina Reiter chose the difficult task of telling her own personal stories through her own strong and determined poetry combined with creative musical settings that are sometimes reminiscent of well known jazz standards. Nina takes care to craft her original ideas into thoughtful arrangements that are technically and artistically mature and very professional. The substantial part of the album that is original makes her music incredibly interesting and appealing. Nina’s voice is not only beautiful and clear, but flexible and adventurous. Nina shows off her more expressive and sometimes aggressive side especially in the “Nightmare-Suite”. Throughout the entire album, whether it is heard in the voice or the instrumental lines, one can hear that the poetry is at the heart of Nina’s writing. I especially enjoy her vocals together with the saxophone. They sound rich and beautiful! All this makes her debut album „Night, Sleep, Death and the Stars “ an exciting journey and a complete joy to listen to. It is a must buy album!”~Fay Claassen
