After returning from his third promotional tour for his new CD “Happy, Sad and Satisfied" and two major Festivals in Europe, Kaestli once again presents his unmistakable blend of Jazz, classical and contemporary vibes at the Kitano Hotel, NYC. His CD is still gaining acclaim, already having received great reviews from most major Jazz publications in Germany and Switzerland, while radio stations and local papers have been supporting the tours and festivals with interviews, showcases and CD reviews.

In the US, the CD was introduced on “Groove Boutique", a nationally syndicated show on CD 101.9 Smooth Jazz, and Kaestli's refreshing approach to standards remains a favorite on Jazz radio stations across the country. Additionally, “Happy, Sad and Satisfied" has been receiving high praise from critics and audiences everywhere. It was named among the “Top 25 Best CDs of 2006" by Indie Music Magazine and received a “Best Male Jazz Vocal" nod from the Twirlie Awards. Also, Kaestli's last NY performances at the 55 Bar and the Jazz Standard were mentioned among the “Noteworthy Performances" in JazzImprov Magazine.

Beat Kaestli moved to New York from his native Switzerland and received a scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music. While honing his craft alongside noteworthy Jazz performers, such as Jane Monheit, Jason Moran and Stefon Harris, he immersed himself in Manhattan's fiercely competitive music scene, emerging as a seasoned performer. He now appears in clubs such as Birdland, The Bitter End, The Jazz Standard, 55Bar and B.B. King's. In 2005, Beat was the chosen vocalist for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, thrilling audiences in concert halls across the USA and since 2006 he is touring the world with his own projects and showcasing his music across the US.
