A concert from the Young Talents series

With their legendary duet album, Carmen McRae and Betty Carter set standards for vocal jazz in 1987 – full of virtuosity, playfulness, and emotional depth. Now a young, world-class ensemble brings this music back to life and gives it a fresh, contemporary touch. The ensemble brings together outstanding musicians from across Europe, many of them members of the Bundesjazzorchester. With sensitive interplay, excellent storytelling, improvisational freedom, and

deep respect for the original, they interpret classics from the album and

complement the program with their own arrangements and originals.

The result: a captivating live experience that will delight jazz lovers. A musical journey between swing, ballad artistry, and vocal

mastery – from Hamburg to Graz and beyond.

Line-Up:

Cansu Arat (vocals), Lilli Kornhuber (vocals), Benedikt Göb (piano), Sebastian Claas (bass), Jacob Wagener (drums)
