Touché is a Danish a cappella jazz ensemble known for its big band-like arrangements, awesome swing and tender ballads.
Hot & Sweet, cool & lyrical, trumpet imitations, vocal percussion and smoky voices - Touché embraces the best of jazz styles and arrangements.
Touché consists of 14 singers from Copenhagen, Denmark, who together with conductor/ arranger Jesper Holm have adapted the traditional Count Basie sound to an energetic a cappella big band style.
At a Touché concert you will enjoy arrangements inspired by the repertoire of the Singers Unlimited, The Real Group, and other major artists from the world of vocal jazz, alongside the performance of Jesper Holm’s refined jazz arrangements of jazz standards and evergreens.
During the last couple of years the Touché ensemble has taken first prize in a number of Danish and international choir festivals, and are travelling to Ireland to participate in the Cork International Choral Festival.
Conductor Jesper Holm is educated at The Royal Danish Academy of Music. He is a passionate advocate for the vocal jazz genre, and has studied this genre intensively in Denmark, Sweden and the US. Jesper also sings in the professional vocal-jazz quintet Vocapella, and arranges for the Danish National Girls Choir. |
