Monday Michiru

Born: August 19

Monday Michiru (full name: Monday Michiru Mariano), so named to reflect her Japanese, Italian and American heritage, is also the genesis of renowned jazz musicians, NEA Jazz Master Toshiko Akiyoshi and cult jazz saxophonist Charlie Mariano, as well as jazz saxophonist-flutist Lew Tabackin who helped raise her. While she showed natural talent playing flute from a young age, studying classically at the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy on scholarship, her inspiration in music caught fire with singing, composition and music production. In 1987, Monday was scouted by Japanese movie director, Shinji Somai, to debut in the lead role as an opera singer in his movie “Hikaru Onna” (“Luminous Woman”)

Die Band cabeljau HERMANN FRIEDRICH WOHLFARTH und STEPHAN RÖDER lernen einander 1996 am Institut für Musikwissenschaften kennen. Auf dem 1998 produzierten Album BUMMTOWN vereinigen sich Gegensätze. Das musikalische Strukturgespür RÖDERs und die Jazz-Funk-Begeisterung WOHLFARTHs sind Motor einer lebendigen, rhythmusbetonten Pop-Musik, mal philosophisch wie KRIEG oder BENG!, mal federleicht wie WEICHEI.

CHRIS TURRAK übernimmt den Bass. Mit neuen Songs und Arrangements tourt cabeljau 2006 durch Polen, Tschechien und Deutschland
