Den svenske topsanger Viktoria Tolstoy udfordrer en af Europas bedste jazztrioer
Som tipoldebarn til en af verdens største forfattere, Leo Tolstoy, har det ligget i kortene, at Viktoria Tolstoy skulle beskæftige sig kreativt. Derfor var det ikke givet at hun selv skulle opnå anerkendelse.
Fra soul til jazz, fra funk til rock og storslåede ballader - Viktoria Tolstoy mestrer det hele og altid med et glimt i øjet. Hun er kendt for sin varme klang, store musikalitet og et personligt udtryk, der bygger bro mellem jazzens tradition og det moderne nordiske.
Hun har indspillet flere album på det prestigefyldte pladeselskab ACT og samarbejdet med bl.a. Esbjörn Svensson, Nils Landgren og Joel Lyssarides. Som solist har hun markeret sig som en af Europas førende vokalister.
Wolfgang Haffner har et kæmpe følge i hele verden for sit intense og uforudsigelige trommespil. En af dem, der går få af på et årti. Han mestrer atmosfære, groove og flow på en hidtil uset måde, som har givet ham en allerede karakteristisk Haffner-lyd, der er genkendelig i løbet af ganske få takter.
Han evner en skarp sans for timing og musikalsk skønhed, der er blevet definerende for hans musik. Over årene har han udviklet sin egen karakteristiske stil, og som kapelmester er han uovertruffen.
Wolfgang Haffner har spillet på de største jazzfestivaler i over 100 lande, han har været med til at indspille over 400 albums og arbejdet med kunstnere som Bill Evans, Pat Metheny, The Brecker Brothers, Gregory Porter, Roy Ayers, Clark Terry og Mike Stern. Foruden sit virke som udøvende trommeslager, er han en anerkendt producer, der i en årrække arbejdede med det kendte fusionsband "Mezzoforte".
Med sig i sin supertrio, der gæster Montmartre, er den fantastiske pianist og komponist Simon Oslender og
den efterspurgte, urokkelige bassist Thomas Stieger.
