Naughty swing with poems by Erich Kästner set to music
Vertiko plays cutting-edge compositions in the rhythm of past centuries with wit, virtuosity and, above all, swing!
Jazz singer Nina Majer and musicians Frederik Feindt (piano) and Ralf Böcker (saxophone and accordion) create an unusually dense sound that takes the audience back to the wicked salons of the 1930s. Jazz, tangos, chansons, waltzes - a sensational mélange of music and lyrics.
Vertiko plays songs in German: their own settings of Erich Kästner poems - always with a pinch of sex appeal!
"There is nothing good unless you do it," said Kästner. At last, a band has taken this literally and discovered the music in Kästner's verses.
