Synopsis

Album Details

Special Note from Ms. Hagen: Since I was Born in Eastberlin, I have Almost Constantly Been Listening to Music ! I Admired Music So Much: All Those Wonderful Singers Like My Mom, Mahalia Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Hildegard Knef, Zara Leander, Ann-margret, Elvis Presley, Lotte Lenya, Louis Armstrong and Many, Many More... And Hundreds of Records Like My Fair Lady, Can-can, Porgy and Bess, West Side Story and Brecht/Weills:3-penny-opera. These were all Part of the Record Collection of My Wonderful Mother, Eva-maria. I have Loved and Admired These Artists and Songs So Much ! No Matter If German Or English, Sanscrit Or Russian... I have Totally Opened Up to Music, the Singing, the Rhythm, the Melodies, the DEEP, High, Funny and Sad Lyrics. The Songs We have Recorded for "Big Band Explosion" Are Like Sacred Butterflies, Each of them Telling, Singing, Swinging a Healing Story from the Heart of Human-experiences.

CD Reviews

Another Nina treat

Franz | Athens, GA | 06/03/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You want punk Nina? Then listen to punk Nina, there's plenty of it. You want Cosma Shiva Nina? Pick up 'Om Namah Shivay'. You want rock Nina? Etc.. Nina Hagen is an artist, and everything she touches becomes her. This is true for any artist, be it in singing, acting, or visual arts. So don't hold punk as the Nina standard, it's just not true. This woman has moved way beyond that genre and she has incorporated whatever tickles her fancy into her life and music over the years. You like vocals? Check this out and crack up. It's great in a Hagen kind of way."

Metamorphasis

"Nina's incredible voice once more titilattes the soul with independence and spirit, albeit in an ultimate lounge lizard style. As always, Nina's recording and production engineers are superb. On a very solid sound system (bryston, sennheiser,etc..), the nuances of her impeccably unique voice and the supeb technical recording will have you smiling and chuckling. Lucas is a perfect voice match. Sweet."

Not for me

THOR R CASPELL | Port Orca, Wa. USA | 11/12/2006

"Sorry Nina, I LOVE you and I LOVE big band jazz but this just does not work for me. I had to uncheck it on my iTunes. I will give you 3 stars because you and the cover art are so beautiful."
