Charismatic, dry-humored Max Raabe appears as a soloist with the Palast Orchestra in his new show in Berlin. Enjoy high style and humor with the German crooner's salute to the timeless melodies of the 1920s. Dashing, dapper and debonair, German crooner Max Raabe believes the timeless melodies and songs of the era have an inherent magic. Impeccably dressed in white tie and tails, he is joined by Palast Orchester, which he formed with other students in 1986 while attending the Berlin University of the Arts. That the songs from the 1920s and 30s have an inherent magic has always been known to “Ballroom Blitz” (Time Out New York) Max Raabe. In his new concert recording “Let's do it”, Max Raabe and his orchestra, the Palast Orchester impress their audience with a wide array of works in English, such as “Millions of Kisses and Millions of Smiles”, “Singin' In The Bathtub”, and “Cubanacan”. When it comes down to musical presentation, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are unrivalled, regardless the country of origin of the songs. Alongside the musical perfection, this evening from the famous Admiralspalast in Berlin displays all facets of an intelligently choreographed concert. Whether through “Stormy Weather” or “Dort tanzt Lulu”, the swinging rhythms of “Let's do it” or “Du hast mich nie geliebt” in waltz, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are enchanting with music from both sides of the Atlantic. As The New York Times put it - Max Raabe is simply“Fascinating!”

Snippet from Wikipedia: Max Raabe

Max Raabe (born Matthias Otto, 12 December 1962) is a German jazz singer. He is best known as the founder and leader of the Palast Orchester.

Career

Raabe developed an interest in the sound of German dance and film music of the 1920s and 1930s, such as the songs of the Comedian Harmonists, from seeing old films on television and from his parents' record collection. He formally studied music at the Berlin University of the Arts, intending originally to become a baritone opera singer. He and eleven other students formed the Palast Orchester in 1985. The ensemble initially used music arrangements that Raabe found at various flea markets.

The orchestra practised these arrangements for one year without any public engagements or performances. The orchestra first performed publicly at the 1987 Berliner Theaterball, in the lobby as a secondary act, but with such success that the audience left the ballroom to hear the orchestra's performance in the lobby. Raabe and the Palast Orchester had a hit with his 1992 original, Schlager-styled song "Kein Schwein ruft mich an" ("Nobody ever calls me", almost literal translation: "No pig calls me"), a pop song in 1920s style.

In addition to covers of vintage music, Raabe writes original songs and music, including film music.
