CARO - THE KIND OF WOMAN YOU PREFER - LIVE HAMBURG 2007
CARO - LIKE MAKIN´LOVE - LIVE HAMBURG 2007
Caro was seventeen years old when she finished school and decided to go to Hamburg to further her musical career. Her father, a Dutch Jazz musician had a big influence on his daughter, because he rehearsed at home when she was a child. Caro started her career in a small club called Onkel Pö´s Carnegie Hall, and in the seventies this place was unique in Europe. Her eyes start shining, when she describes how it felt to experience artists like Freddy King, Willi de Ville, Al Jarreau...

It was a time when record companies were visiting places like that, searching for artists. In 1978 Caro won the German award of best national artist with her first album.

1977 CARO It´s nothing but higher Pinball/Teldec 6.23306AP LP

1980 CARO WEA Music 58208 LP

1984 CARO The boy is mine Rockshir Records USA LP

1988 JOSY T. Das Traumauto Intercord 145.535 CD

1991 CARO Volcano Virgin Records 614903 Maxi

2005 CARO Eternity Adhip Records 1315-1514-4 CD

In the nineties things started to quieten down. CARO got married and became mother of two spirited children called Saskia and Leon.

It was 1999 when Caro and her Australian friend Lisa Lagoda had the idea of forming the live-band CAROLISA. (supporting Robert Cray at Jazz-Port Hamburg was one of the highlights). They worked together until Lisa decided to move back to Perth.

Meeting MARTIN SCHEFFLER was the best that could ever happen to CARO musically. He is renowned for his tasteful, reduced and emotional guitar playing, He liked her songs. SCHEFFLER knows exactly what CARO needs. He was able to win over ARND GEISE, an excellent Jazz-Bassist from Hamburg, to the idea of producing CARO. ARND GEISE has played with Randy Brecker, Barry Sinnerty and Teddy Richards and is renowned for his virtuosic playing. Both make sure that theres always enough room for CARO.

One night at a party, CARO played her unfinished songs to the one and only JEAN JACQUES KRAVETZ, one of her heroes, who has played with Jumping Jack Dupree, Chris Thompson, John Mayall and the wonderful R&B singer Inga Rumpf. The man from Paris liked what he heard and he became CARO´s Pianist. When he brought his two talented sons into the band, everything was perfect.

JULIEN KRAVETZ, his youngest son, gave his convincing studio-debut playing the drums . He still studies at the Hamburg School of Music.

It also was a great pleasure working with PASCAL KRAVETZ, who has played with Jimmy Barnes and Robert Palmer. No matter what instrument he plays, he does it with passion. CARO and PASCAL KRAVETZ sang the duet Mr. Moon . PASCAL played the Accordion and Fender Rhodes, and he also arranged and sang the backing-vocals with JOANA TOADER and ERICA JACOBS.

Special Thanks go to STEFAN GWILDIS and JULIA SCHILINSKY for the Backing-vocals on Wanna wake Up

The Recording took place at CARO´s favourite Studio at Vox Klangstudio, 21227 Bendestorf/Germany, Volker Heintzen 04183-6021

Timo Dorsch engineered all the songs , he is our great discovery. Dr. Dan and Timo Dorsch did the mastering.

We would also like to thank INGO STROBEL motorberlin.com for the graphic design, and TINE ACKE and SVEA INGVERSEN for the Photography.

The best that could ever happen to CARO musically, was the day when she met MARTIN SCHEFFLER. He is known for his tasteful, reduced and emotional guitar playing, and he liked her songs. SCHEFFLER knows exactly what CARO needs, and what she doesnt need. He could win ARND GEISE, an excellent Jazz-Bassist from Hamburg, for the idea to produce CARO. ARND GEISE is playing with Randy Brecker, Barry Sinnerty and Teddy Richards, and is known for his virtuoso playing. Both made sure that theres always enough space for CARO.

One night at a party, CARO was playing her not finished songs to the one and only JEAN JACQUES KRAVETZ, one of her heroes, who was playing with Jumping Jack Dupree, Chris Thompson, John Mayall and the wonderful R&B singer Inga Rumpf. The man from Paris liked what he heard and he became CARO´s Pianist. When he brought his two talented sons into the band, everything was perfect.

JULIEN KRAVETZ, the youngest son gave his convincingly studio-debut, playing the drums . He is still studying at the Hamburg School of Music.

It also was a big pleasure, working with PASCAL KRAVETZ, who was playing with Jimmy Barnes and Robert Palmer before. No matter what kind of instrument he is playing, he does it with passion. CARO and PASCAL KRAVETZ sang the duet Mr. Moon . PASCAL was playing the Accordions and Fender Rhodes, and he also was arranging and singing the backing-vocals with JOANA TOADER and ERICA JACOBS.


Influences:

When CARO was fifteen years old she spent a year in Archer City/Texas at the Farm of her sister Karla. Thats probably the reason she fell in love with the music of Ray Charles, Patsy Cline, Chet Baker, Van Morrison but also Neville Brothers and Little Feat, music which was not so up to date in Germany at that time.
