A Tribute to Carmen McRae & Betty Carter

With their legendary duet album, Carmen McRae and Betty Carter set standards for vocal jazz in 1987 – full of virtuosity, playfulness, and emotional depth. A young, high-caliber ensemble brings this music back to life and gives it a fresh, contemporary touch.

The musicians combine refined ensemble playing with improvisational freedom and deep respect for the original. They interpret classics from the album and supplement the program with their own arrangements and originals – a musical journey between swing, ballad artistry, and vocal mastery.

Line-Up:

Cansu Arat (vocals)

Lilli Kornhuber (vocals)

Benedikt Göb (piano)

Julian Grüneberg (bass)

Jacob Wagener (drums)
