The music of Karoline Weidt and her band sounds inviting indeed, which is why “Inviting” is also a fitting title for Karoline Weidt Quartet’s debut album. The singer, born in Brandenburg in 1995, discovered her artistic destiny at a very early age. “I’ve always sung,” Weidt said. “After singing in a children’s choir, I decided to take professional singing lessons.” This quickly fell on fertile ground, and Karoline Weidt soon discovered jazz. “When I was fifteen, I sang my first jazz song,” she recalled. “I liked it very much because I had the impression that you don’t have to be like someone else, but instead you can just be yourself. She has many role models, and they have changed a lot over time. Of course, at first I couldn’t listen enough to Ella Fitzgerald, and later I also listened a lot to Norma Winstone.” Karoline Weidt studied jazz singing in Dresden, and she also met the members of her band there. Bassist Loreen Sima (“Loreen plays very filigree, but can also develop a powerful punch”) also has her own trio, and the areas of interest of pianist Mikolaj Suchanek range from Baroque to Modern Jazz. “Miko first studied classical piano and then switched to jazz,” Weidt said. “You can discover completely new worlds with him, and I find that very exciting.” Drummer Valentin Steinle not only sits behind the drums in Weidt’s band, but also in the trio of pianist Emmanuel Walter. “Valentin plays in a very interesting way,” the singer stated. “I think he listens to a lot of hip-hop. This makes for a great mix together with the others.”
