Talented: Till Bronner is a fine trumpeter and charismatic singer
"Any Germans here tonight?" asked Till Bronner, conjuring up Ronnie Scott, who used those words in his standup routine.
This time it wasn't a rhetorical question and a group of German tourists gave a cheery wave. Jazz has come a long way there and Bronner is its biggest star.
A fine trumpeter and charismatic singer, his voice, light and lyrical, and his trumpet tone, warm and breathy, revive memories of Chet Baker, but without the limp fragility.
Flanked by two strong Swedish soloists, pianist Daniel Karlsson and guitar discovery Johan Leinhufvud, and a solid all-German rhythm section - bassist Dieter Ilg, drummer Wolfgang Haffner and percussionist Roland Peil - Bronner rode a flying carpet of Brazilian, Afro-Cuban and jazz-funk beats. His probing trumpet solos were digitally enhanced by Vocoder, echo and delay effects and every arrangement was crisp and sophisticated.
Wes Montgomery's Bumpin' benefited from a new mid-tempo groove and Jimmy Rowles's The Peacocks glowed in a slow-mambo setting.
Vocally, too, Bronner avoided clichés, selecting a Leonard Cohen song, (We're Still in Love) In My Secret Life, and two worthy originals, High Falls and Send Me Wild.
He even took an accomplished electric-keyboard solo. If there were such a poll, he would be voted the world's hippest German.
