Pat Appleton, singer with German-Liberian roots, voice from De-Phazz, released her third album, and from the beginning it was clear: it became a jazz album. A coherent decision. It was not for nothing that 3sat Pat Appleton was one of them "The most important voices of contemporary German jazz." For her lyrics and her singing, Pat Appleton has already received two jazz awards from the German Phono Academy (BVMI) together with the Nighthawks and the Jazzkantine. It's time to finally get on your own and with new ideas in the jazz genre. Pat Appleton has been traveling around the world for years. As a composer and singer she also works for TV and film productions. In her second album, "Mittendrin," she has devoted herself to her German homeland and her moving life in 2011, she has now developed a new, own program with her Berlin Jazz Quintet, which will be broadcast live in September 2016 by the RBB in the series »The Voice in Concert ". The result was 10 English-language titles - the pianist Sebastian Wei? with his compositions and arrangements for Burt Bacharach and the political jazz of the 70s. The own crisis as an artist in the age of the Internet, to have the feeling no longer belongs And still less to be understood, and the constant addictive pull of the self-representation In the social media offered enough cloth for an album. But it is not an art Larmoyant and above all remain varied. Through the combination Of earthy, handmade jazz with different rhythms, beautiful voice and Meaningful texts.
