Groove, Voice, Tension

Willy Ketzer is one of the prominent German jazz drummers and brings his experience as a bandleader and ensemble leader into a transparent, open band sound. On his official page, he refers to more than 30 years of show experience, long-term work with Paul Kuhn, and performances and collaborations with greats like Toots Thielemans, Johnny Griffin, Larry Coryell, Benny Bailey, and Dusko Goykovich. This authority also shapes the concert evening under the cedar. ([willyketzer.de](https://www.willyketzer.de/))

Deborah Woodson as the Emotional Center

At the center is the American singer Deborah Woodson, whose voice effortlessly transitions between soul, blues, and jazz. The program focuses on clear lines, direct expression, and fine dynamics rather than effects for their own sake. Together with Marcus Schinkel on piano, Jens Foltynowicz on bass, and Pape Samory Seck on percussion, a chamber-close yet buoyant band sound emerges, which fully unfolds its effect outdoors.
