DAS KAPITAL (DE/DK/FR)

When did you last hear La mer or Ne me quittes pas? Patrick Hernandez’ Disco-hit Born To Be Alive or Comme d’habitude, the French template for Sinatra’s Ego-anthem My Way? The first Gymnopedie by Satie or pieces from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, such as Lully’s March for the Turkish Ceremony – these “hits” chosen from a period of 430 years of French musical history have never been heard like this before. Das Kapital, internationally acclaimed as a savvy jazz trio with an unmistakable sound and great performances, transforms these highly diverse masterpieces into the typical Das Kapital sound universe, stripping them of their original genres and arrangements, delivering them as had they all been written to be played by improvising jazzmen.
