JACQUES PALMINGER & 440 HERTZ

THE LONGING OF THE STARS

A frothy bouquet of jazzy hits for melody-loving people with a gift for pleasure! Wonderfully light music with slightly wondrous lyrics! A genre of its own, a journey to the stars, from Hammerbrook to the Pleiades! JACQUES PALMINGER & 440 HERTZ do it the way only they do it - in their tiny rehearsal room in the Hochbunker on Hammer Deich, at their concerts from Hamburg to Zurich.

They make no secret of the recipe for their flying ointment: melancholy inspirations, washed up by the Hamburg rain, whipped up with magic jazz! Their jazz rocket whistles on liquid hydrogen! They don't believe in UFOs, they believe in Tartufos! They want to transcend in music! Dream pop with German lyrics, sung in several voices and recorded live. The common vision, dreamlike melodious music in the style of the late sixties with German lyrics and polyphonic vocals to arrive in the here and now.
