One of the most exciting young vocal talents in jazz is coming to Frankfurt! Michael Mayo's wonderfully versatile voice effortlessly dances between scat, beatboxing, and lyrical singing. Raised in a musical family, he honed his craft with teachers like Herbie Hancock and Dianne Reeves. Now his career is taking off, and he's captivating audiences with his extraordinary talent.

What is really important about Christmas amid all the stress of gift-giving and organisational chaos? It's the moments spent together, the feeling of security, hope and warmth – and, of course, the wonderful music that can be heard everywhere. Gregory Porter has captured all of this beautifully on his 2023 album ‘Christmas Wish’ and will be taking it on a major tour of Germany this December. The fact that he will also be stopping off in Frankfurt with great soul songs and atmospheric Christmas classics in jazzy arrangements is, of course, particularly pleasing to our pre-Christmas hearts. When his warm, dark voice is accompanied not only by his band, but also by a string quartet, a harp and three singers under the direction of Magnus Lindgren, Christmas can finally come!
