Jazz

In a completely unique instrumental combination of a jazz/crossover trio, cellist and singer Rupert Gillett meets Valerie Rathmann (double bass/vocals) and Tim Schmiedner (drums).

The Rupert Gillett Trio produces a sound that is sometimes delicate, sometimes swinging and funky. Perfectly suited to the Jan Kath Design Store, where the trio will be performing this evening.

Rupert Gillett is a British cellist, bassist, composer and producer. He is internationally recognized and a specialist in many alternative cello techniques. Rupert has worked with artists such as jazz legend Jacqui Dankworth MBE, Alison Moyet (Yazoo), Shara Nelson (Massive Attack), Katy Carr, Delain and Modern Nature, and has appeared on BBC radio and television with various ensembles. He has also performed for celebrity audiences including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jude Law, Orlando Bloom and HRH Prince Philip.

Rupert Gillett is a lecturer at the Cello Akademie Rutesheim and has taught at the Royal Academy of Music (London), the New Directions Cello Festival (MA, USA) and various other festivals and courses.

A musically exciting evening amidst the beautiful carpets of Jan Kath.
