Stephanie Lottermoser

Born: July 19, 1983

Stephanie Lottermoser is a German saxophonist, singer, composer and bandleader, she lives in Hamburg where she moved to in 2018 after living in Munich and Paris. 

In her music and her six solo albums she is painting pictures of society, individuals and situations, often very personally. Being close to her audience is always very important to her and she manages to create an intimate setting on club stages as well as at large festivals and to take the audience with her into her musical world.

In doing so, she has always remained true to herself and her own artistic and personal development very consistently and beyond musical trends and expectations. Her love for soul jazz and groove music is always clearly audible, but her sound goes far beyond that and also integrates traditional jazz, acid jazz, funk, pop and minimal music into an exciting soundscape.

David Bode

Some are raised in New Orleans’ musical tradition. Others join it by force of will. David Bode, a New Orleans-born saxophonist and composer, felt the pull of his city’s timeless, creative spirit from childhood. But as the first musician in his family, connecting with it required desire and persistence. A graduate of the renowned Loyola University and University of New Orleans music programs, Bode, who first began performing professionally while in high school, has spent more than two decades performing, writing, and recording in New Orleans and beyond. He is a regular at his city’s famed music clubs, concert halls, and festivals performing with New Orleans High Society, the New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orchestra, and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, among many others, and is the leader of the David Bode Big Band.
