CONCERT Léah Kline at "Taraxacum"

With an exceptional (and) sensual voice Léah Kline charmed a full house at the "Taraxacum" Invited by concert promoter Karl-Heinz Krüger she starred with German pianist Dirk Balthaus as "JuzzFlirtin" in Leer. Their music moves between Jazz, Funk and Latin. It is supported by percussion instruments as well as by piano sounds. Especially because of the singing of the American the compositions seemed to reach higher spheres. Next to own pieces Balthaus and Kline interpreted together with their fellow musicians also instrumental covers from Jazz giants like Pat Metheny. Kline added lyrics (by Kurt Elling) and made the song her own. She made the air tremble, a sultry atmosphere provided the right mood for flirting. The program's title. The visitors were fascinated by the expressive presence of the attractive singer whose voice is reminiscent a bit of Sade.
