Simin Tander & Jens Düppe

"Atmospheric, electronic"

Simin Tander - voice

Jens Düppe - drums, piano, electronics

The German-Afghan singer and composer Simin Tander is one of the most exciting musicians in jazz today. Singing in English and Pashto/Afghaani, her delicate as well as powerfully warm timbre develops a pull, a quiet intensity that is deeply moving. With her unique way of improvising, far removed from traditional scat singing, Simin creates a sound world full of mysticism and passionate freedom. She delicately weaves herself into the sounds of her duo partner. Jens Düppe, one of the "most innovative representatives of improvised music in Germany" (Jazzzeitung). At this concert, Düppe plays drums, piano and electronic effects simultaneously and creates the impressive flow of this music. The duo surprises the audience with ever new sound combinations. The Kölnische Rundschau judges: "Casual rhythms and hypnotic sound".
