Ulita Knaus - Old Love and New (2022) [Hi-Res]

The fourteen original compositions on 'Old Love And New' were all composed by Ulita Knaus, created for poems by her favorite poets - these are timeless texts, always emotional and sometimes political. The songs already seem like rediscovered standards from the great songbook era of Cole Porter or the Gershwins, also because Ulita's band swings so fabulously. It is often downright spooky how much these lyrics and their songs fit into our time. Relaxation and evolution, rights for all and bicycles for two - the fact that these subjects are so haunting and relaxed on 'Old Love And New' is of course also due to the musicians behind it. "An excellent band with sensitive arrangements accompanies Ulita in a great and sensitive way," stated the European jazz legend Rolf Kühn. 'Old Love and New', an album full of poetry and swing and love - already a classic and certainly the peak of Ulita Knaus remarkable career to date.
