With her sensual voice, accompanied by a brilliant jazz quartet, the American singer Nina Bradlin sings of love, desire and other passions.

Her repertoire includes Tom Waits, jazz standards of the finest,but especially, songs from her new album, which she recorded in Basel, Ireland and in her hometown of Detroit.

Her second album "Right Where You Are", goes beyond genre boundaries: the unifying element is Nina Bradlin’s voice, sometimes soulful, sometimes smooth, but always full of emotion, passion and honesty.

Nina Bradlin was born into a musical family in Detroit, Michigan. Her mother played the bassoon, the organ and the piano and her brother is a blues bass guitarist. She was influenced by Jonie Mitchell, Judy Collins und Linda Ronstadt.

“Her voice is a surprise - silvery and clear, yet dramatic...from Billie Holiday to Ella Fitzgerald, from Dinah Washington to Dee Bridgewater: All of these jazz divas have sung the standard and yet she manages to make the song sound fresh and new...with a great voice and understatement, she achieves an intensity that thrills the audience.“
