Denise Krammer has brilliantly rearranged the Bossa-Nova classics of Tom Jobim, João Gilberto and others, as well as your own compositions. Sometimes dressed in jazz, swing, and blues arrangements, sometimes funky, or in the Afro-Brazilian samba style of Baden Powell. Whether as the "Ipanema Jazz Duo" with drums, as the "Ipanema Jazz Trio" with drums and bass, or as the "Ipanema Jazz Band", with this program Denise is always a welcome guest in jazz clubs and at renomated jazz festivals.
"The awarded singer from Brazil makes the Bossa Nova sound shine – sometimes whisperingly delicate, sometimes brimming with exuberant joie de vivre. With wit and charm, she recounts stories from her homeland and blends classics from the Brazilian Songbook with her own powerful compositions. Alongside her, her Brazilian percussionist ignites a firework display of smooth grooves, tropical rhythms, and jazzy improvisations. An evening like a mini-vacation: intense, elegant, and irresistibly captivating."
Jochen Beglau, Head of Cultural Affairs Office of the City Weinstadt, Germany
