A Sunday in the Sign of Swing, Soul, and Summer Air
The Hardtberger Jazz Summer 2026 brings a free matinee moment to the stage on June 21 at 11:00 AM at the Cultural Center Hardtberg in Bonn, sounding relaxed and easygoing while demonstrating much jazz craftsmanship. At the center is Betty Gee & Friends, an ensemble that combines the American Songbook, Swing, Blues, Bebop, Bossa, and Soul into a vibrant concert experience.
Jazz with Character and History
Betty Görgner, known as Betty Gee, shapes her songs with a voice that lives between warmth, presence, and finely drawn dynamics. Her repertoire ranges from jazz standards of the 1930s to 1950s to stylistically open excursions into Bossa Nova and Soul-Pop. On stage, this does not result in a mere string of classics, but rather a carefully constructed orchestration of rhythm, groove, and interpretation.
An Ensemble that Lets the Space Breathe
The lineup with Johannes Wagner on guitar, Gerd Brenner on bass, and Hardy Kleiner on drums ensures that synchronization necessary for a jazz morning: The bass provides the foundation, the drums outline the pulse, the guitar sets harmonic lines, and above this, the voice floats. This mix gives the performance that audience atmosphere that makes jazz accessible in the best sense.
The Unique Charm of the Hardtberger Jazz Summer
The Hardtberger Jazz Summer has long been a fixed date in Bonn for anyone who appreciates live music in an intimate atmosphere. The venue is located at the end of Duisdorf's pedestrian zone, within walking distance of Duisdorf train station.
