Jessica Gall - Little Big Soul (Bonus Version) (2016)

Jessica Gall, born in Berlin as the daughter of a couple of musicians, studied jazz at the "Hanns Eisler" University of Music, but at an early age allowed herself all kinds of freedom in the search for her own style, even outside of the genre she works as a background singer for Phil Collins and Sarah Connor, among others. After her works "Just Like You" (2008), "Little Big Soul" (2010), "Riviera" (2012) and "Riviera Live Concert", "Picture Perfect" is her fifth album. Together with Robert Matt and the co-copywriters Robin Meloy Goldsby, Shannon Callahan and David Anania, Jessica Gall has found a place between the memories of jazz and the finally exciting Olympus of singer / songwriters.

In addition to Robert Matt on piano and programming, there are Johannes Feige (guitars), Björn Werra (bass) and Martell Beigang (drums) Result ", says Jessica Gall," because I try out my and Robert's specifications with her and examine them critically. "
This now also applies to their live performances. Jessica says she is now “very happy not to be the control freak on stage that I used to be at least in the studio.” Occasionally, the unpredictable happens on stage, “I found it totally exhausting in the past, today but for me it holds an incredible magic.
