Description
Max Raabe resurrects Germany’s glamorous early 1930s époque, with authentic detail and subversive intent. Raabe, along with his elegant Palast Orchester, recreates the Weimar Era, a sadly short-lived time when German popular and theatrical songs rubbed shoulders with the American cinema and big band jazz. A supremely witty and mischievous guide to that period, Raabe keeps things light and bubbly even as he brushes on heavy themes. So, his reading of “Who’s Afraid of The Big Bad Wolf” will delight the child in all of us, even as our adult minds may stray to the swift destruction of this culturally diverse, celebratory era. Live in New York, Raabe’s superb 2008 release, spotlights one of his sold out Carnegie Hall performances. Not to be outdone, SFJAZZ presents the Orchester in the glorious art deco environs of the Paramount Theatre, a perfect venue for Max Raabe’s journey through time.More Info
