Apparently, according to amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and cede.ch, the release of Jennifer Warnes' new album has been pushed back, again...the new release date is now May 25th 2018...

Apparently, during the tribute concert in Montreal, while private pictures and videos of Leonard were shown, there was a mesmerizing song being played. I first thought it was a song that I had never heard, but when I listened closely to the words I discovered it was actually a new recording of the s...

For those of you who speak German, here's the extensive review I wrote for Swiss online magazine nahaufnahmen.ch about Leonard's new album:

Cheers mate. Anyone know exactly which of the songs were written and produced by Patrick Leonard and Sharon Robinson on the album? I wonder how many came out of the Popular Problems sessions.... no, I don't know the songs. 1. 4. 6. and 7 could be produced by Patrick Leonard and Sharon Robinson, if ...

Leonard had talked about putting a band together rather casually to Julian Coryell, a young musician whom he very much respected. Julian plunged ahead, gathered and rehearsed musicians and singers, and several weeks later, presented Leonard with a touring band. Leonard had not attended any of the r...

More or less by coincidence, I read the following on the Wikipedia-page of singer Samantha Newark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Newark): "In late 2006 she auditioned for Julian Coryell to be a backup singer for renowned poet laureate Leonard Cohen. The project was set to do a world tour an...

The full Paul Kalkbrenner remix of "You want it darker" has now been released:

It's a few minutes past midnight, Wednesday September 21st, and "You want it darker", the single (4:44 minutes long), is now available on Spotify. Just listening to it on repeat...It's even more haunting and hypnotizing than I remembered it from the prelistening at the event in Amsterdam, especially...

When I first read about Kalkbrenner doing a remix of "You want it darker", I thought: Oh no! But when I actually heard the first snippets and now the remix in full I must say that I absolutely love it, especially when the choir sets in and sings the "Hineni" part together with Leonard. I can't wait ...

Thanks a lot, Bennyboy! You Want It Darker (Paul Kalkbrenner Remix) @ Lollapalooza Berlin 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poDX1NG2_Sc Almost nothing new in comparison to the Peaky Blinders fragment. Roman, the ARTE channel recorded the whole Paul Kalkbrenner performance @ Lollapalooza Berlin a...

More than a week has passed by since I heard Leonard's new album at the Event in Amsterdam. As we were not allowed to record - righteously so ! - and as I forgot to take notes, I can't give a detailed review of the album but I can write down what I still remember. 4 or 5 songs of the album were co-w...

First and foremost a HUGE "thank you" and "thumbs up" from the bottom of my heart to our wonderful event organizers Wijbe, Willy and Liesbeth!!!! I can only assume how much time and energy you invested in creating this most wonderful and memorable event! You excelled the high expectations in so many...

I have been looking forward so much to seeing a full Sharon Robinson concert for the first time (especially since the wonderful but much too short showcase in Amsterdam). Then today, more or less by coincidence, I found out that Sharon's concert at Plaza in Zürich got cancelled. There is no explanat...

Just announced! Sharon Robinson will be playing in Switzerland as well: September 13th, Zurich, @Plaza Ticket sale starts this Thursday: http://www.ticketcorner.ch/Tickets.html?affiliate=TCS&doc=artistPages%2Ftickets&fun=artist&action=tickets&erid=1673512&includeOnlybookable=false&xtmc=Sharon_Robins...

This is a most wonderful little video. Her reaction, the words of Leonard's letter.. I really hope that Leonard gives her a call or writes her another such beautiful letter - and invites her to sing on his next record. Hearing those two artists singing together would really be a dream of mine come t...
