Recording Artist Esther Kaiser<\/p>\n

In 2004 Esther Kaiser debuted with her CD “Jazz Poems” (Double Moon Records) as the first artist of the renowned series “Next Generation” of the magazine “Jazzthing”.<\/p>\n

Her albums “The moment we met” (Minor Music, 2006) and “Cosy in Bed” (GLM, 2009) followed. A sideproject of Esther Kaiser was the album “*sternklar” with contemporary arrangements of old folk songs, released in 2012. (HGBS label)<\/p>\n

In 2015, Esther Kaiser’s collaboration with GLM continued with the release of the CD “Learning how to listen – the music of Abbey Lincoln”, a co-production with RBB.<\/p>\n

Here Esther Kaiser’s identity as a musical “storyteller”, who does not leave out socio-political topics in her music, comes into its own.<\/p>\n

The intensive study of Abbey Lincoln was in turn the inspiration and precursor for Esther Kaiser’s album “Songs of Courage” (GLM, 2018).<\/p>\n

Jazz sounds meet oriental sounds here, Berlin jazz musicians meet refugee musicians from Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

“I was looking for ways to express myself through my medium, music – also in social issues. And to open my mouth – in the truest sense of the word. That’s important to me, especially at the moment, with the current issues and mood in society, this sometimes irreconcilable division between people and opinions.” \u00a0(Esther Kaiser)<\/p>\n

The new album “WATER” (2022):<\/p>\n

Their new album “Water” , recorded during the second Corona Lockdown and with musical guests such as Sebastian Studnitzky on trumpet and Marie-Christin Gitman on oboe and English horn deals with the element “water” and reflects this current topic in many ways musically and in terms of content. By means of unusual sounds such as the glass harp and the convincing compositions of Esther Kaiser and Tino Derado, an exciting reminiscence of the origin of all life succeeds: water.<\/p>\n
