A new European revelation, the charismatic young German with a uniquely recognizable voice – Cat Lee King – is accompanied by the crème de la crème of French rhythm’n’blues – The Mint. Together, they passionately perform a repertoire heavily influenced by the music of the 1940s and 1950s.

Cat Lee King’s radiant stage presence, his talents as a pianist and singer, and the stellar team surrounding him literally fascinate the audience. With a piano style inherited from Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, and Amos Milburn, and his gravelly “Blues Shouter” voice, he brings the great names of this music back to life. His repertoire spans from the most rootsy blues to the wildest rock’n’roll, including swing numbers with sharp and lightning-fast riffs.

Vocals & Piano: Cat Lee King
Tenor Saxophone: Mathias Luszpinski
Baritone Saxophone: François Sabin
Double Bass: Stéphane Barral
Drums: Simon Boyer

The SAT trio was born from the friendship between Vince Clarke, an English drummer, and Marc Dugardin, a guitarist. It is with François Mary’s double bass that the trio finds its dimension, the expected balance, and harmony.

Their joy of performing together in concerts is connected to the delight of playing around the three main elements: improvisation, freedom, and listening to each other to interact in a continuous dialogue.
