VIVA VALENTE! A Swingin' Tribute to Caterina Valente

Caterina Valente was without doubt one of the internationally outstanding singers of the 20th century. The repertoire of the artist, who has just celebrated her 91st birthday, ranged from the post-war hits of the 1950s to jazz classics, Spanish hits and bossa nova titles. In 2021, guitarist and jazz singer Jörg Seidel finally fulfilled his long-standing wish to dedicate a program to her and was able to win over an outstanding collaborator in Sabine Kühlich.

Sabine Kühlich sings in several languages, scats, contributes saxophone solos and percussion and throws the ball around with Jörg Seidel. Chris Hopkins is an internationally renowned heavyweight on the piano. For 20 years, he played in the extremely successful quartet "Echoes of Swing", which won numerous awards. And Jean-Philippe Wadle completes the ensemble as a virtuoso bassist who adds a huge dose of swing to every track. Jörg Seidel, who is one of the best jazz singers and swing guitarists in the country, shines in a duet with Sabine Kühlich, plays a rousing rhythm guitar and demonstrates his entertainer qualities.

The CD "Viva Valente!" released to accompany the program received the highest score for sound and music in the magazine "Fono Forum" as well as a ravishing review. At the festivals in Speyer and Bad Homburg, the audience gave the ensemble a standing ovation. So the best entertainment is guaranteed.
