Jazz Duo Concert with Melanie Bong & Peter Cudek (Bass & Voice) at Schloss Kempfenhausen on Lake Starnberg

The legendary jazz singer Sheila Jordan is regarded as a pioneer of the bass-and-voice format. Melanie Bong continues this intimate tradition in an authentic and personal way, presenting a highly concentrated, emotionally deep and nuanced musical experience together with the virtuoso bassist Peter Čudek – a respectful homage to Jordan and at the same time a fresh, unique interpretation of the duo. "Elis Regina had it, Billie Holiday had it, Carmen McRae had it, and now Melanie Bong has it." – William Grim, All About Jazz (USA)
