JESSY MARTENS & JAN FISCHER’S BLUES SUPPORT
Advance sale: 21 € incl. fees, box office: 24 €
Louis Armstrong Memorial Award Winner 2012
German Blues Award Winner 2012 & 2014
"Grandiose Sängerin" (Peter Urban, NDR)
She is considered one of the outstanding voices in the international blues scene: bundle of energy and singer Jessy Martens. With her "kneeling voice" (rocktimes), she had already stormed the stages of significant festivals at home and abroad at the beginning of her career. After a 5-year interruption, she brought the sold-out Cotton Club back to life in January 2023. Now she is coming back!
She will be supported and accompanied by the Hamburg blues pianist Jan Fischer. His sensitive yet energetic way of filling various styles with his personal touch makes him the perfect partner. He showcases the singer excellently and shines through his own musical accents. Jessy Martens & Jan Fischer were awarded the Louis Armstrong Memorial Prize in 2012 and also received the German Blues Award.
To expand the quartet, a well-rehearsed fully acoustic lineup features Jan Carstensen on saxophone and Björn Puls on drums, who has been praised by the press for "musical brilliance, first-class sound, lots of empathy, and virtuoso technique." In addition to original songs, the band performs tightly arranged blues, boogie & swing, Ray Charles classics, or a captivating version of Gershwin’s Summertime.
One can look forward to these musicians!
