SILK STREET
„well worth waiting for, Silke Straub‘s voice has ripened to perfection and clarity, allowing its listeners to effortlessly absorb the beautiful sound. Close your eyes and start to dream ....music tracks with their own personal magic, which are alive and varied, some being dreamlike and others full of passion.“
(Irene Spiegel about Silk Street, Main Post 03.06.2014)
ENGELESINGEN
„Franconia-Progressive-Christmas-Music, beautiful, young female musicians demonstrate that Christmas music doesn’t have to be the kind of kitsch you hear on every street corner. The ladies have made a name for themselves in the Jazz scene of Nuremberg. It is of no surprise that no warmed-up evergreens can be found on the new cd, these are metropolitan musicians, a group of creative individuals out of the jazz and classic scene in and around Nuremberg. They promote border-crossing music and a forum for music, the kind placed between the typical genres sometimes being missed by the listener.“
