Concerts Costa Blanca are proud to present
THE BOURBON STREET STOMPERS
The Hottest JAZZ in Europe
Third Costa Blanca Tour
Lovers of classic New Orleans jazz will be delighted to know that the fabulous "Bourbon Street Stompers", who made a brilliantly successful first visit to the Costa Blanca in 2009, and again in 2011, will be back again. This time the 7-piece band will be playing on October 12, 2012, performing in the Teulada Moraira Auditorium, as well as in the La Rambleta in Valencia, October 13.
Reputed to be the best band of its type in Europe, it surprisingly originates not from the USA or the UK, but from Germany.
The "Stompers" were founded in Essen in May, 1993, when they were still teenagers, fascinated by the hiss and crackle of the old New Orleans jazz recordings.
Today, they are still together as a band. However, as jazz musicians they do not earn a "fortune", so the 7 Stompers all have a day job as well. They no longer all live in Essen, so each gathering is somewhat of a logistical accomplishment, as they arrive from Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Vienna, Brussel and Essen, to perform together.
For their third visit to the Costa Blanca they will be joined for the second time by jazz vocalist Betty Berent from Hamburg.
Elisabeth (Betty) Berent, age 27, discovered her passion for jazz and blues as a child, and went on to become a professional in the art. She has worked her way up to the top of the German jazz scene, singing alongside veteren jazz pianist Gottfried Boettger, and performing at venues such as the Cotton Club and the Stage Club in Hamburg.
In June of last year, Betty sang with The Bourbon Street Stompers at a jazz concert in Dusseldorf before a crowd of 1.500, who were blown away by her talent. As a result, she was asked to accompany the band on its next tour to the Costa Blanca, and she readily accepted. This October concert will be her second concert in the Auditorium of Teulada Moraira.
