ELISABETH LOHNINGER: LIFE LINESLife has
a habit of turning left when you least expect it. Much will
likely be written about how and what artists created during
the long quarantine months of 2020. In that regard, "Life
Lines" is truly a Covid album. Written by vocalist Elisabeth
Lohninger in January, it was imagined as something entirely
different, but life did what it does best. It turned left.
Produced by pianist/arranger Walter Fischbacher, the album
manages to boast a deep roster of wildly talented musicians. To buy a physical copy of Life Lines in Europe, please visit www.crackshop.at |
LOHNINGER &
FISCHBACHER: SOUL GARDEN
Elisabeth
Lohninger and Walter Fischbacher step out again as a duo,
a suitcase filled with a wide variety of musical
influences and revelations in tow. This is the backdrop
for an atmospheric, intimate and colorful arc that tells
the story of two people who went out into the world to
find themselves and each other. Poetry, passion and
groove.
ELISABETH LOHNINGER
BAND: ELEVEN PROMISES
"A
collaboration with the piano trio Phishbacher, this
project is a thrilling pairing of musical and lyrical
excellence, a powerhouse formation that paints a
gratifying and deeply moving portrait of the human
experience.

LOHNINGER & WALTER FISCHBACHER: BALLADS IN BLUE
In
an intimate set of ballads vocalist Elisabeth

the listener through the peaks and valleys of love.
Supported by Fischbacher's beautifully unterstated
playing Elisabeth Lohninger digs deep into the
exhilarations and devastations of the human condition,
always fully present, fully believable and
breathtakingly authentic.

LOHNINGER BAND: CHRISTMAS IN JULY
"Vocalist Elisabeth
Lohninger, in collaboration with guitarist Axel
Fischbacher and pianist Walter Fischbacher, has
chosen twelve songs from disparate corners of the
world in nine different languages to create an
international cornucopia of Christmas music. At
times joyful, at times pensive but always hopeful,
the set is firmly rooted in the jazz idiom." (press

TRIONADA
"Guitars and amplifiers
be damned, TrioNada needs only a vibes player (Tim
Collins), a renowned jazz singer (Elizabeth
Lohninger), and one of the best tap dancers/body
percussionists in the world (Max Pollak) to create
their dizzyingly eclectic brand of music. Yoruba
folk songs, Afro-Cuban rhythms, soul-jazz, and more
make up the typical TrioNada mélange, all bound by
Elizabeth's fearless, do-it-all vocals."

LOHNINGER QUARTET: BENEATH YOUR SURFACE
This CD titled "Beneath
Your Surface" (Lofish Music, 2004) consists mostly
of originals, with 2 German songs and my favorite
Joni Mitchell tune. The CD features Walter
Fischbacher on piano, Steve Doyle on bass and Hari
Ganglberger on drums.
TERADOX: IF
teradox is an
electronica collaboration with pianist Walter
Fischbacher.
Remixing some tracks from Elisabeth Lohninger's pop
cd "alien lovers" (under the alias tera) and writing
a bunch of new hooky songs from scratch, Lohninger
and Fischbacher went for the atmospheric, slightly
melancholic, loungy sound, with loads of haunted
vocals and luscious harmonic layers and walter's
knock-out keyboard playing. oh, and there's even a
remix of a 17th century christmas carol on it!

PERFECT
ROOMMATES: AUSTRIAN LIEDGOOD
This duo recording with pianist Walter
Fischbacher is a chamber-musiclike mix of Austrian
folksongs and jazz. It was released in 1998 and led to
some extensive touring in Europe.
TERA: "alien
lovers"
"Tera -
that's vocal soulrock, a gutsy, individual musical
vibe, tons of groove and lyrics you can't quite let
go of. Tera's voice, velvety, throaty and rangy at
the same time, is terriffically enhanced by her
savagely rocking band of outstanding musicians."
