Barbara's Bebab Records has extended its collaboration with CDBaby.com for North America that now offers five different CD albums of Barbara's own label Bebab Records. Latest addition is "Love Letters" a Hammond/drums duo studio production with nevertheless live character. You'll only have to applaud by yourself... ;-)

Concert activities

Next month Barbara Dennerlein will stay in Germany and perform in the northwest region. One of the concert venues will be the Jazz Days in Hilden, which will feature "Women in Jazz". In June, Barbara will start her first concert trip to North America that will lead her to the International Jazz Festival in Rochester, NY. Four concerts are scheduled there. And in beginning July she will continue her pipe organ concert series with a concert in New York's Trinity Church in Wall Street.

Later on in July and August, Barbara will focus on Europe. With "Freedom for the organ pipes" the German Embassy and the German Institute for Culture/Goethe Institute in Tallin entitle their announcement of Barbara's concert trip to Estonia. Barbara will perform on pipe organs at the Concert Halls of Tallin and Pärnu, accompanied by saxophonist Villu Veski.

Off stage

Barbara Dennerlein is already preparing for the next international concerts. "There is a lot to do if you try to combine the many requests I get. Before too long I can see myself playing, organizing concerts and travelling at the same time" she laughs. But managing herself is not the only thing Barbara is occupied with.

Spiritual Movement No. 2

Six years ago Barbara's first church organ CD "Spiritual Movement No. 1" has been released and the title promised that there would be a successor some day. Now Barbara is already working on the next CD album, Spiritual Movement No. 2!

After this period Barbara is still fascinated by the variety of these instruments. Each one seems to have its individual personality, and it's a musician's task to intensively explore the organ's characteristics. "While Hammond organ concerts only need a more or less quick sound check and some arrangements with the sidemen, a church organ concert requires preparation that easily exceeds the duration of the concert itself by far. You have to detect the technical and musical abilities of the instrument within short time, to select the best suited compositions and you have to define and preset the registrations as frameworks for the intended interpretations." This is and will always be a new challenge for Barbara Dennerlein.
