Welcome To The Roaring Twenties!
Rag Doll
Rag Doll – Rag Doll
© Uwe Arens
When Rag Doll formed in 2012, singer Käthe von T. and pianist Amy Protscher agreed: Bessie Smith is to blame for their dedication to the 1920s and its music with Rag Doll. From the emotional exuberance and the coarse but honest humor of the "Empress of the Blues" Bessie Smith and her contemporaries from Ma Rainey and Ethel Waters to Alberta Hunter, the Berlin musicians are always happy to be transported to this golden musical age and its history(s).
Tanja Becker, whose furious virtuosity on the trombone completes the line-up of the classic Bessie Smith Trio, is also part of the group. Together, the three Berlin musicians carry off their audience with skin and hair and heart and take them on a journey into the golden age of ragtime, boogie woogie, Harlem stride and barrelhouse. The spark is instantaneous, and they transform any stage into a grand old juke joint in the American South of the 1920s. And as it is in places like these: you can listen, swing and dance until the air burns. Welcome to the Roaring Twenties!
Cast:
Käthe von T.: vocals
Tanja Becker: trombone/vocals
Amy Protscher: piano/vocals/percussion
