JAQUES PALMINGER & 440 HZ TRIO feat. LYDIA / Deutschland

In the organizer's words:

The Hamburg musician and actor Jacques Palminger has dedicated himself to jazz from Wonderland for adults with his 440Hz Trio. Palminger breaks with conventional jazz structures. This is not surprising, as we know the man from the humor trio Studio Braun or from the fake band doc film "Fraktus". Now he dances lasciviously through Paris in the sixties, climbs infinite scales to the most beautiful song in the world and sails his ship through a bittersweet sea of hits.
Palminger's haunting lyrics oscillate between wicked comedy and insane drama. He speaks them in German: always beautifully one meter above the ground, always beautifully with a spark of megalomania, always beautifully from an eerie fairytale castle. The 440 Hz Trio, now swollen to a quintet, is Hamburg through and through: former Die Sterne organist Richard von der Schulenburg, bassist John Raphael Burgess, Olve Strelow on drums, as well as Lieven Brunckhorst on sax, flute and singing bowl and Lydia Schmidt on vocals accompany Palminger through dreamwalker soundscapes. Until the audience itself joins in, swaying: "This is my ship on my journey. This is my wind." At least for one jazzed-up evening in Wonderland. (Christa Helbling)

Jacques Palminger became known as a member of the artist trio Studio Braun from Hamburg. His career began as a drummer in the bands The Waltons and Dackelblut. He later wrote lyrics and music for the band Universal González. He has worked as an actor in and on stage and is the author of the radio play "Einschlafgeschichten für Männer". He has released several albums with The Kings of Dubrock and the 440 Hz Trio. He can be seen as Bernd Wand in the movie Fraktus. Together with Lieven Brunckhorst and Jörg Folltert, "Goldberg für alle" with texts by Jacques Palminger and music by Johann Sebastian Bach was performed in 2015

"The fabulous world of Jacques Palminger: pompous German lyrics, performed with ambiguous messages and an erotic timbre - that's something you only find in pop music. If it weren't for Jacques Palminger..." mopo 08.01.24

"Palminger is like the way to the toilet in a public parking garage: long, dark and complicated." FAZ
