Description: A singer of incredible range, Max Raabe has a singular ability to capture the cunning rasp of the cabaret singer, the carefree timbre of early jazz, and the falsetto of ragtime, all backed by his stellar 12-member band. With repertoire focused on German and American standards, this elegant ensemble keenly reminds us that between melancholy and irony, elegy and farce there is often only half a measure, sometimes just a single note or a mere word. Raabe's skewed humor, sardonic wit and spot on interpretations are slick, nostalgic and unmistakably modern.
