VIENNA SWING QUARTET
Su., 04.10.2026 from 18:00 o'clock
“The great swing festival with a touch of the Caribbean”
The high art of swing, as taught to us by Artie Shaw, Count Basie, or Duke Ellington, with a touch of spiritual, soul, reggae, and rhythm & blues: Even beforehand, the eardrum vibrates and the hearing nerves are raw when the colored singer DENISE GORDON (UK) enters the stage together with her entire Caribbean heritage and the great Viennese swing tradition in the form of the VIENNA SWING QUARTETT.
DENISE GORDON grew up as the daughter of Caribbean parents in England and lives as a singer-songwriter in London and on her home island in the Caribbean. As a soulful jazz singer, she celebrates success around the world, from Australia to Zimbabwe. At the age of three, she was already singing Gospels in church with her mother. Through her Afro-Caribbean heritage, she captivates audiences as a jazz singer in numerous styles from Spiritual, Soul, and Rhythm & Blues to New Orleans and Funk.
In her current concert series, she is accompanied by the VIENNA SWING QUARTETT. Herb Berger (saxophone and chromatic harmonica), Herbert Swoboda (piano), Martin Treml (double bass), and Wolfgang Kendl (drums) are congenial accompanying musicians for international jazz greats and form a swinging ensemble that knows how to support Denise Gordon in her musical diversity.
The concert on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at Kunsthaus Weiz (starting at 6 PM) is the only concert with DENISE GORDON outside of Vienna. Tickets are available at Ö-Ticket.
