A Delightful Evening of Straight Ahead Swing

Born in Norman Oklahoma in 1985, Champian Fulton is recognized as the “most gifted pure Jazz singer of her generation” (Mark Stryker, the Detroit Free Press). A Jazz pianist and vocalist for more than 20 years, she has released 18 albums as a leader and has performed in more than 25 countries, both in concert and on TV. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018, 2020, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine. She regularly appears in both the Jazz Journalist Awards and Downbeats Rising Star Critics Poll.

“Fulton self-accompanies and solos on piano with harmonic sophistication, impeccable chops, a risk-friendly attitude and an idiosyncratic conceptual range spanning Bud Powell, Erroll Garner and several other way-stations, refracted into her own argot.” - Downbeat

Jazzhus Montmartre as part of the Copenhagen Jazz Festival (Copenhagen DK)

Den kun 39-årige amerikanske sanger og pianist Champian Fulton tager publikum med storm over hele verden.
 
“Hun er en af de mest talefulde jazz-vokalister i sin generation", skriver jazz-anmelderen Mark Stryker i Detroit Free Press om Champian Fulton.
 
Siden hun som kun 10-årig optrådte til jazzlegenden og familievennen Clark Terry's 75 års fødselsdag, er hun blevet modtaget med begejstring på den internationale jazzscene. 
 
Som datter af jazz-trompetisten Stephen Fulton blev hun fra en ung alder eksponeret for den swingende amerikanske jazz-skat.
 
Blandt hendes store inspirationskilder er musikere som Bud Powell, Red Garland og Errol Garner samt vokalisterne Sarah Vaughan og Dinah Washington.
 
Fulton mestrer begge kunstformer til perfektion, og med respekt for traditionen in mente, har hun altid sit eget, unikke twist på fortolkninger af klassiske jazz standarder.
 
Gennem de sidste 20 år har hun udgivet 18 albums som leader, og turneret rundt i verden og spillet med legender som Nicholas Payton, Buster Williams, Jimmy Cobb og Louis Hayes. 
 
Med sig på Montmartre, under Copenhagen Jazz Festival har hun de to svenske topmusikere Klas Lindquist (alt sax) og Hans Backenroth (bas), samt den garvede danske trommeslager Kristian Leth.
