Michaela Rabitsch - singer and Austria's only female top jazz trumpet player and her ingenious partner - guitarist Robert Pawlik are presenting jazz with catchy melodies, strong harmonies groovy rhythms and adventurous improvisations in a fine balanced vocal - instrumental mix. Their junior release Moods has Rabitsch and Pawlik emerging as the new face of Austrian jazz. Presenting a diversified repertoire by integrating influences and rhythms from different cultures, they create an exciting fusion. With songs like 'Africa', 'Malaga', 'Tren Numero Uno' (Cuba), 'Serbian Rhapsody' or 'Varna' they take you on a musical journey. The album earned them not only raving reviews, but opened the doors to perform at highly prestigious international Jazz Festivals, concert halls and clubs. Michaela Rabitsch, is called a modern day female Chet Baker by the US magazine Jazzscene.

From Austria they come and this trumpet/guitar led crew just might conquer the world with their sound. (Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap, USA)
