The Cat's Table Supernatural Soul Charade

The Cat's Table, led by Tom Reinbrecht and former members of Klaus Doldinger's Passport, blends jazz and rock and funk, paying tribute to the 80s.

Cinematographic jazz is the name of the music by the band led by saxophonist Tom Reinbrecht, named after a novel by Canadian Booker Prize winner Michael Ondaatje: The Cat's Table. Sitting at the cat's table on a cruise ship, far away from the honorable captain and his guests, are the shady but also most fascinating passengers. They are adventurous, creative and tell exciting stories. Among them are also a handful of exciting musicians, often called "cats" in jazz. Bassist Patrick Scales and drummer Christian Lettner have taken a seat at Tom Reinbrecht's The Cat's Table; together they formed the long-standing rhythm section of Klaus Doldinger's Passport. They are joined by keyboard virtuoso Jan Eschke and, as the album's special guest, the talented guitarist Ferdinand Kirner.

With this project, the musician musically transcends genre boundaries, seeking the wild and untamed, the rock'n'roll in jazz, but also the jazz in rock'n'roll. The Cat's Table is sensual head cinema that is funky and soulful, grooves power-fully, is melodically seductive and is simply brightly colored in the overall picture. Pulsating riffs and funky grooves, powerful hooklines that become catchy tunes, seductive melodies and epic harmonies, soulful lines and the bittersweet melancholy of the blues... The 13 tunes on the album "Supernatural Soul Charade" tell a dramaturgical arc of suspense like the successive scenes in a grippingly staged movie. The spectrum of moods ranges from powerful and poetic calm radiating a spirit of optimism to dark, driving drama reminiscent of a car chase to a dance mood of infectious joie de vivre. Within the individual scenes, the musicians improvise their own individual story, finding their own story in the stories.

With the album Supernatural Soul Charade, Tom Reinbrecht has written a tribute to the music and zeitgeist of the 80s. From singing in a rock band as a teenager, his musical path led him to jazz, with the saxophone as his main instrument.
