Album Notes

chateauHAAG LINE UP:
LISA HAAG voc
PHILIPPINE DUCHATEAU piano
PETER ROM guitar
STEFAN THALER ac. bass
ULLI PESENDORFER: drums
Featuring expressive singer Lisa Haag, chateauHAAG create their own musical universe: On their debut CD ”Good News“, the five Austrian musicians present original compositions as well as fresh arrangements of their personal jazz favourites and songs by Prince, Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix.
The contemporary harmonic landscape sets the mood for Lisa Haag’s cool-charismatic voice. With natural ease she captures the essence of each song, and her dark, distinctive timbre stands out without even trying.
Pianist Philippine Duchateau and guitarist Peter Rom add warm, blues-inspired and sometimes freaky sounds, while bassist Stefan Thaler and drummer Ulli Pesendorfer provide soulful and distinctive grooves.
With a talent for marrying old to new, ChateauHAAG are creating contemporary jazz/pop music that is inventive and nostalgic at the same time.
Just listen by yourself, and welcome to the castle!
