‘“Reworkings” of songs from the Great American Songbook are more popular today as a starting point for jazz interpretations than the originals.’ (Wikipedia)
The grande dame of German jazz singing Uschi Brüning and pop poet Betancor are embarking on new adventures and venturing a second evening together.
Following the success of ‘Ich Mein Dich’, Betancor has selected new jazz standards, translated them into German and delved into her own originals. The result is ‘A Pinch of Light’, an evening about love.
Because love is not only ‘the greatest of them all’, but also what keeps us alive. It helps against misery and suffering, bad politics and the AfD. And when music is added to love, it opens up and a pinch of light spices up the day.
You can look forward to a time-saving version of ‘Take Five’, a heartbreaking ‘Skylark’, a super solvent ‘One-Note Samba’, a devout ‘Come Sunday’, Betancor's ‘Streich Mich von der Gästeliste’ and their hit ‘Krank Vor Liebe’ and more!
They are joined by fearless warriors Christian Von Der Goltz on piano and drummer Willi Kellers with mischievous coolness.
