CHRIS BENNETT
«ONCE UPON A TIME»
SPECIAL GUEST: RICK ROSS
FEAT: LARS GÜHLCKE-ERNST BIER

DEUTSCH
Chris Bennett begann ihre Laufbahn in Deutschland, als Lead-Sängerin von Munich Machine, der wohl erfolgreichsten Discogruppe des Produzenten Giorgio Moroder. Sie schrieb Musik für Tina Turner, The Manhattan Transfer und Randy Hall, und produzierte Keb Mo’s erste CD «Rainmaker». Seit mehr als 30 Jahren ist sie mit ihrer Band regelmäßig zu Gast im A-Trane und nahm dort 1999 ihre CD „Live in Berlin“ auf. Vier Jahre später, im Oktober 2003, folgte die zweite CD „Once Upon A Time“ Live at the A-Trane, aufgenommen während einem Gastspiel im A-Trane.

Auch dieses Mal hat sie den langen Weg von Los Angeles nach Berlin nicht gescheut und bringt diesmal den Saxophonisten Rick Ross aus LA mit.

Rick Ross ist ein dynamischer Multiinstrumentalist und Sänger aus Südkalifornien, der für seine gefühlvollen Darbietungen auf dem Klavier und dem Saxophon sowie für seine volle, fesselnde Stimme bekannt ist. Ursprünglich aus Indianapolis stammend, hat Rick Ross einen einzigartigen Musikstil kultiviert, der klassische Raffinesse mit zeitgenössischem Flair verbindet.
Was für jede Jazzvokalistin schon ein Lob darstellen würde, bedeutet für Chris Bennett noch ein weiteres: die Anerkennung ihrer Eigenständigkeit als Interpretin und Entertainerin. Die großen Gesten sind dabei ihre Sache nicht – dieser Sängerin muss man schon aufmerksam zuhören, sie drängt sich einem nicht auf. Dass Chris Bennett jedoch die Bühne als ihren angestammten Raum betrachtet, schlägt sich auch in ihrer Diskographie nieder: bei zwei ihrer insgesamt sechs Jazzalben handelt es sich um pure Konzertmitschnitte – eindeutiges Zeichen dafür, dass die Künstlerin sich ihrer Live-Qualitäten sicher ist. Und auch ihres Publikums: „Please welcome Chris Bennett!“

Chris Bennett began her career in Germany, as lead singer of Munich Machine, arguably producer Giorgio Moroder’s most successful disco group. She wrote music for Tina Turner, The Manhattan Transfer and Randy Hall, and produced Keb Mo’s first CD „Rainmaker“. She has been a regular guest at the A-Trane with her band for more than 30 years and recorded her CD „Live in Berlin“ there in 1999. Four years later, in October 2003, the second CD „Once Upon A Time“ Live at the A-Trane followed, recorded during a guest performance at the A-Trane.

This time, too, she didn’t shy away from the long journey from Los Angeles to Berlin, this time bringing along saxophonist Rick Ross from LA.

Rick Ross is a dynamic multi-instrumentalist and vocalist based in Southern California, known for his soulful performances on piano and saxophone, as well as his rich, captivating voice. Originally from Indianapolis, Rick has cultivated a unique musical style that blends classic sophistication with contemporary flair.
What would be praise enough for any jazz vocalist, means yet another for Chris Bennett: recognition of her independence as a performer and entertainer. The big gestures are not her thing – you have to listen carefully to this singer; she doesn’t force herself on you. However, the fact that Chris Bennett regards the stage as her ancestral space is also reflected in her discography: two of her six jazz albums are pure concert recordings – a clear sign that the artist is confident of her live qualities. And also of her audience: „Please welcome Chris Bennett!“

It´s me, the Monday A-Trane pianist Andreas Schmidt. Since 1995 I played here about 900 wonderful & surprising improvised happenings in music with lots of friends like Jay Clayton, Hayden Chisholm, Dave Douglas, Walter Norris, Mark Murphy, Till Brönner, Sebastian Merk, Andreas Edelmann, Jan Roder, Connie Crothers, Max Andrzejewski, Andy Fite etc.. Here’s what Richard Williams wrote about me in his blog: «If you’re ever at a loose end in Berlin on a Monday night, my advice would be to head for A-Trane, the jazz club in Charlottenburg, where Andreas Schmidt, a pianist, composer and teacher at the city’s Jazz Institut, holds a weekly free-admission session featuring a changing cast. Schmidt is a fine pianist, the salient features of his playing located somewhere between the Paul Bley of the mid-’60s and the Chick Corea of «Now He Sings, Now He Sobs». You might get an idea of his approach if I say that his first album was made (in 1995) with Lee Konitz, and a later one comprised a duo with Gary Peacock. His music is cerebral, but on the evidence I’ve heard it never lacks wit and humanity.» Richard Williams

«SUMMER JAZZ FOR PEACE»

WITH: Nik Lukassen-Yuriy Seredin-Roland Schneider
Five Nights Of Vocal Modern Jazz At A-Trane

The renowned A-Trane Jazz Club will host a special five-night concert series featuring internationally acclaimed jazz vocalist Judy Niemack alongside some of Berlin’s finest jazz musicians. Each night will spotlight a unique musical theme, offering audiences a rich and varied experience at one of Europe’s most iconic jazz venues.

“This series isn’t just a lineup of concerts — it’s a musical journey through moods, messages, and the spirit of jazz,” says Niemack. “Every night is a new conversation, a fresh story.”
Judy Niemack, an American vocalist based in Berlin, is widely regarded as one of the foremost voices in contemporary jazz. As L.A. Jazz Scene writes:
“To my mind, Judy Niemack is one of the best, and purest jazz singers ever. Besides a voice with the clarity of a mountain stream, accuracy of pitch and time that is a wonder to hear, perfect diction and sensitivity to lyrics, she has a disciplined improvisational gift that makes her scat-sung lines music.”
S. Chamberlain, L.A. Jazz Scene

Join us at A-Trane for an intimate and inspiring week of world-class live jazz — full of heart, talent, and timeless songs.

Peace&Love&Hope: This is, what Judy and A-Trane will express our thoughts musically during the whole week with aa wish to end the ugly developments on this world.

What did David Hawkins say:

Wednesday, July 23

«Give Peace a Chance!»
Two nights devoted to messages of peace and unity, featuring special guest vocalists from the Berlin scene, with songs by the Beatles, Bill Evans, Pat Metheny, Bob Dylan and more…

It´s me, the Monday A-Trane pianist Andreas Schmidt. Since 1995 I played here about 900 wonderful & surprising improvised happenings in music with lots of friends like Jay Clayton, Hayden Chisholm, Dave Douglas, Walter Norris, Mark Murphy, Till Brönner, Sebastian Merk, Andreas Edelmann, Jan Roder, Connie Crothers, Max Andrzejewski, Andy Fite etc.. Here’s what Richard Williams wrote about me in his blog: «If you’re ever at a loose end in Berlin on a Monday night, my advice would be to head for A-Trane, the jazz club in Charlottenburg, where Andreas Schmidt, a pianist, composer and teacher at the city’s Jazz Institut, holds a weekly free-admission session featuring a changing cast. Schmidt is a fine pianist, the salient features of his playing located somewhere between the Paul Bley of the mid-’60s and the Chick Corea of «Now He Sings, Now He Sobs». You might get an idea of his approach if I say that his first album was made (in 1995) with Lee Konitz, and a later one comprised a duo with Gary Peacock. His music is cerebral, but on the evidence I’ve heard it never lacks wit and humanity.» Richard Williams

Johan Leijonhufvud Meets Mathias Landaeus
«Summer Playmates»
50 Years Celebration
FEAT: Paul Santner-David Milán

Guitarist Johan Leijonhufvud and pianist Mathias Landæus first encountered each other as little children in a potato field in the countryside of South Sweden.

They became summer playmates and later reconnected in their teens through their jazz studies. They have since followed each other through life, as friends and musical playmates, each carving out their own unique career in jazz. Every time they get together to play there is an obvious musical chemistry that can only come from this kind of personal history of closeness and mutual respect. At this point both musicians have released numerous albums, received awards and played with an impressive list of big names in jazz. Still, as they enter the stage together, they somehow remain the playful children they once were.

This summer we celebrate the 50 year anniversary of that chance meeting in the potato field!

Johan Leijonhufvud – Guitar
Mathias Landaeus – Piano
