FEMALE INSTINCTS – Katrin Avison & Tizian Jost (D)
In an era where almost everything seems plannable and explainable, FEMALE INSTINCTS celebrates the immediate: the instinctive forces that drive and connect us beyond the realm of logic. Singer Katrin Avison and pianist Tizian Jost create a moving soundscape for a female perspective that unfolds in all its shimmering diversity, far removed from any clichés.
At the heart of this evening lies the power of lyrical poetry. Great voices such as Emily Dickinson, Hannah Arendt, Rose Ausländer, and Maya Angelou find a new musical home in the duo's compositions. The imagery-rich, sensual language of these women is transformed into songs that follow the mystery of female instincts—at times tender and dreamy, at others wild and rhythmic. Katrin Avison’s own lyrics blend seamlessly into this cosmos, telling stories of trust, intuition, and new beginnings.
The musical realization is as intimate as it is intense. Katrin Avison captivates with a versatile voice deeply rooted in jazz as well as the worlds of chanson and poetry. At her side is Tizian Jost, one of the most distinguished pianists on the German scene, held in high regard for his sensitive, color-rich playing. His pianist elegance lends the duo a remarkable depth. Together, they fill the room with a warmth that bridges all distance. As the renowned jazz critic Ralf Dombrowski aptly put it: "Duo jazz like an embrace."
An evening of simplicity, truth, and profound musical sincerity.
