The ZIGZAG Jazz Festival | Stacey Kent Turned Berlin's Gasometer into the Most Intimate Room in the City ✨
Stacey Kent has long been recognized as one of the world’s most successful and acclaimed jazz vocalists. With millions of albums sold, a Grammy nomination, and numerous gold, double-gold, and platinum records, the American-born singer has firmly established herself among the leading voices of modern jazz.
Inside Berlin's magnificent Gasometer, Stacey Kent transformed the evening into something that felt remarkably personal. As the lights faded, there was no grand entrance—only quiet elegance, effortless grace, and the unmistakable artistry of a musician who understands that the smallest moments often leave the deepest impression.
Speaking warmly to the audience in German—a language she began learning more than three decades ago—Kent created an immediate connection before leading listeners through a beautifully curated programme spanning the Great American Songbook, French chanson, Brazilian gems, and deeply moving originals written with Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro.
Accompanied by her longtime musical family—Jim Tomlinson, Art Hirahara, and Tom Hubbard—every song unfolded like a conversation, intimate, sincere, and timeless.
A night where subtlety became unforgettable.
