Baptiste Trotignon and Kate Lindsey
Baptiste Trotignon and Kate Lindsey by Richard Dumas
In the “unusually rewarding” (The Guardian) Thousands of Miles, versatile vocalist Kate Lindsey and jazz pianist Baptiste Trotignon perform a multilingual program that “goes far beyond a simple fusion of jazz and classical” (Crescendo). A survey of Weill’s works—both from his European years and after his forceable relocation to the United States—gets a welcome, extra emphasis on its jazz stylings, courtesy of Trotignon’s smart arrangements and improvisations, and Lindsey’s delivery that “has shades of Dietrich herself” (London’s The Times). The concert also features selections by Weill’s fellow émigrés Korngold, Alma Mahler, and Zemlinsky, which have the added benefit of “unleashing Lindsey’s full classical voice, and glorious it is, too” (The Guardian).
