Jazz and emotions: Afra Kane's new album inspires in Oberhausen!

The Ebertbad in Oberhausen becomes the scene of electrifying music! With its program at this year's Hömma Festival, the talented Afra Kane brings an explosion of emotions and intelligence to the stage. Her compositions are nothing less than an artistic expression of internal movements that brought her in 2019 the renowned Montreux Jazz Talent Award. Your brand new album "Could We Be Whole" causes a stir, and the spectators can look forward to an unforgettable experience with your quartet!

Three days after Kane, the American guitarist Greg Howe rocks the stage! Known for his cooperation with greats like Michael Jackson and Rihanna, Howe unleashes a rousing fusion of energetic jazz and hard rock with his trio. The distorted electrogitar makes the audience shake-a real pleasure for the ears of jazz fans! The performances on October 18 and 21, 2024 promise to blow up every limit of musical skills!

But that's not all! Let's take a look at Luise Volkmann, who recently caused a sensation at the Jazz Festival Viersen. As an artist-in-residence, she and her trio Volkmann/Jarret/Andrzejewski showed how to perfectly combine musical elegance and energy. Their performance moves virtuoso between folk songs and improvised sound collages and draws the audience on a rousing journey through the world of music.

The line-up of the festival is impressive:

• Afra Kane Quartet: Afra Kane (Vocals, Keys), Emilio Vidal (guitar), Jérémy Krüttli (Bass, Moog), Noah Weber (drums)
• Greg Howe Trio: Greg Howe (guitar), Mohini Dey (bass), Marco Cirigliano (drums)
• Volkmann/Jarret/Andrzejewski: Luise Volkmann (saxophone), Paul Jarret (guitar), Max Andrzejewski (drums)

After the breathtaking appearances at the Ebertbad, there are recordings that hold the unforgettable character of these concerts! Modernized by Thomas Mau and editorially supervised by Niklas Rudolph - an event that turns the music scene upside down!
