Austrian singer, pianist and composer Susana Sawoff inhabits a vast and intimate musical universe. Her lyrics focus on the little things in life, on words of love sung with a comforting smile or with an ironical wink in her big eyes. The strength of her songs lies in the elegant reduction uniquely achieved with her classical jazz trio featuring acclaimed musicians Christian Wendt and Jörg Haberl. She sings as it were just for you, with a voice that is soothing and warm. Seeing and hearing Susana Sawoff is like meeting an old forgotten friend.
Susana Sawoff has been nominated three times for the Amadeus-prize, Austria’s biggest Music-Award. She has performed at clubs and festivals like Bix Jazzclub (Stuttgart), European Jazznights (Oslo), International Jazzfestival Murszene (Graz), Porgy&Bess (Vienna), United Island Festival (Prague), Jazzkaar Festival (Tallinn), Kaunas Jazz (Kaunas, Lithuania), JazzGAP (Garmisch-Partenkirchen), Women in Jazz Festival (Halle) and at the prestigious "Ö1 Stage" of the Danube Island Festival (Vienna). She performed with her trio at the Opus already twice, in 2013 and in 2014.
Her solo debut album, Wrapped up in a little Sigh, was sold out and is now in its 3nd Edition. Her album Bathtub Rituals was released in June 2015.
