Tom Pearce Loved this album. Lucia has an amazing voice.

K.E. Beautiful, yet erie; gentle, yet firm; emotional; yet quiet - it's hard to describe Lucia's voice with a single adjective, but if I had to pick one, it would be captivating.
"Speak Low" enthrals the listener throughout with its masterful compositions & renditions, proving that previous’ generations works are alive and well, just as long as singers like Lucia are adamant to preserve (and even improve) on the old masters’ crafts.
Nina Simone would be proud.
Favorite track: Strange Fruit.

Philip Graham Yet another Bandcamp treasure, glorious music I'd find nowhere else. A voice as clear as a mountain spring, while the shadows of a tenor sax and double bass flicker over its ripples and swirls. Favorite track: Slow Hot Wind.

    IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD BACK THEN.
    THERE WAS A TIME
    BEFORE YOU COULD AMPLIFY SOUND WITH ELECTRICITY,
    BEFORE YOU COULD ACCUMULATE SOUND IN PLASTIC
    AND BRING IT FROM ONE CORNER OF TELLUS TO ANOTHER.
    THIS IS THE REMIX. KEEPING IT SIMPLE AND RAW.
    THREE VOICES STUBBORNLY CREATING THE CORE OF ALL MUSIC; RHYTHM!
    CANDLES STILL FLICKER, THE FREQUENCIES OF YESTERDAY STILL RESONATE.
    THIS IS ACOUSTIC RETRO-FUTURISM.

released February 26, 2016

"Remember the name Lucia Cadotsch – you’re going to be hearing a lot of it. Cadotsch is a young, Zurich-born vocalist who possesses a classical clarity, a folk singer’s simplicity, and an appetite for performing very famous songs (Moon River, Don’t Explain, Strange Fruit) in the company of two edgy free-jazz instrumentalists, who flank her sedate progress with split-note sax sounds and spiky basslines and percussive strumming. That might sound like a merciless deconstruction of fine songs, but in this compelling trio’s hands the process is remarkably melodious and illuminating. Speak Low is delivered with phlegmatic gentleness as saxophonist Otis Sandsjö’s looping ostinato gets increasingly windy and raw, and Strange Fruit is stalked by multiphonic sax growls and swiped, twanging bass chords. Cadotsch is as light-stepping and dolefully swinging as Madeleine Peyroux on Some Other Spring; low-key on Moon River, as if the very thought of the rainbow’s end is wearisome. It’s all eerily beautiful.“

THE GUARDIAN

“I haven’t heard anything this impressive in a while."
Volker Doberstein, JAZZPODIUM, 3/16

«Hier singen die Liebe und der Schmerz, sie klingen wahr und man glaubt ihnen, dass sie sich behaupten können im Gerumpel unserer Zeit.»
Francesco Wilking

„Grosses Wagnis. Echtes Erstaunen stellt sich beim Musikgenuss selten genug ein. Umso nachhaltiger beeindruckt das Berliner Trio von Lucia Cadotsch mit dem Debütalbum „Speak Low“: hier erklingt schlicht ein musikalisches Wunder, das bei jedem Hören erneut beglückt und fassungslos macht.(…) Lucia Cadotsch hätte den Sängerinnen Billie Holiday und Nina Simone kein größeres Kompliment machen können, als deren Standards im Trio neu zu erfinden. Ein seltener Glücksfall.“
Franziska Buhre, TIP Berlin, 7.4.2016
