Sara Aldén

Sara Aldén’s album debuts in the spring of 2024 with original compositions of jazz with a focus on intimacy, grand crescendos and the end of everything. She is described as the creator of “jazz on life and death”.

In the upcoming debut album “There is no future” (Naxos, Prophone, March 2024), Sara Aldén and her trio show a massive sinkhole in the history of jazz, where doom-filled compositions are interspersed with dizzying arpeggios and sound worlds that reflect the end of all as we know it. She made her EP debut in 2022 with the critically acclaimed “A Room of One’s Own” where she explored the norm and form of jazz with her very own expression and musical language. With musical sound heroes such as Lina Nyberg, Gretchen Parlato, Esbjörn Svensson Trio and Tigran Hamasyan, Sara creates broad brushstrokes for how jazz sounds in 2024.

Sara has previously played with musicians such as Anders Jormin, Malin Wättring and Martin Sjöstedt and performed her release concert together with Lina Nyberg at Skeppet on June 3, 2022. Sara has received the Fredrika Bremer scholarship and the Royal Academy of Music’s local scholarships.

I have heard a great Swedish jazz singer – a new jazz star — be born.

“Undeniable qualities as a jazz singer”
“Sensitive, naked and with a sympathetic thoughtfulness”

Sara Aldén’s debut is with “pass with distinction”, now it’s just a matter of waiting for more.

Miriam Ast’s biography stands out for its plethora of musical and geographical boundary-crossings. The German born jazz singer and saxophonist Miriam Ast graduated in 2016 with distinction from her master studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She quickly established herself as an up and coming jazz vocalist and improviser in the city, collaborating with musicians such as Stan Sulzmann and releasing her debut album Secret Songs in 2018 to critical acclaim.

Having moved back to Germany in 2021, Miriam Ast has now formed a new unconventional trio with jazz pianist Daniel Prandl and crossover cellist Jörg Brinkmann.

Her new album consists of modern jazz arrangements of folk tunes from throughout Europe. In this project, Miriam Ast draws from her musical and cultural experiences from her time in London and explores Europe’s rich heritage with her own distinct voice.

Erik Leuthäuser

Jazz | Music | Pop | Vocal

Erik Leuthäuser is an award-winning young German singer/songwriter/arranger based in Berlin, using his native language and electronics to create his own concept of music somewhere between modern jazz and experimental pop.

Shining young singer, THE upcoming voice in German jazz. (Mannheimer Morgen)

Leuthäuser captivates the audience with his adorable, youthful velvet voice. (Jazzthing)

His voice is beautiful and free, he is young and dedicated, honest and full of music. (Sabine Kühlich/Jazz singer)

Based on his experiences as a young singer in a big city such as Berlin, the only way to be is honest and dedicated: In life and in music. On the other hand, he also honours jazz tradition by diving into lesser known jazz standards.

In May 2018, he released his 2nd studio record “Wünschen” on the prestigious record label MPS. Produced by American bass player Greg Cohen featuring Kurt Rosenwinkel (guitar) and Joey Baron (drums). He won several international jazz prizes e.g. 1st prize of the Ella Fitzgerald Vocal Jazz Competition 2018.

Furthermore he sang background for Quincy Jones, George Benson, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Jacob Collier. He recorded albums with jazz legends such as Alan Broadbent and Ken Peplowski.
