Reviews

"Juzz Flirtin is the exceptionally listenable result of a rendezvous between vocalist Léah Kline and pianist/composer Dirk Balthaus. A meeting that caused musical sparks."

"Her narrating qualities are impressive and inviting. The playing of the band perfectly supports this."

"Ingenious arrangements, intentionally intense intermezzos and playful solos give the numbers extra cachet and support the lyrics in an all round excellent manner. Kline is a vocalist of scale. She possesses a good diction, a beautiful alto timbre, feel for dynamics and timing plus an excellent technique."

"We hear a strong formation, which breaks down itself in all fields of jazz and funk. Lightly and dexterously they accompany singer Léah Kline who knows how to flirt with her performance. Her sharp and sometimes provoking intonation is a delight for the ear. In a subtle manner she understands to seduce the listener, to captivate and naturally claim the attention."
