Niki Haris & Denny Ilett All Stars
United Kingdom / United States

When night descends upon the earth, the blues awakens. And the blues begins to tell its stories.

A unique meeting between American vocalist Niki Haris, with her mesmerizing voice, and London jazz and blues guitarist Denny Ilett. Known for her warm timbre and vibrant charisma, Niki Haris is best known to the general public for her many years of collaboration with Madonna, whose concert tours featured her not merely as a backing vocalist, but as an integral part of the global superstar’s spectacular shows. Yet beyond the pop scene, Niki is an outstanding jazz and soul performer who fills every performance with genuine emotion, musical depth, and powerful stage energy. She has performed and recorded with legends such as Stanley Turrentine, Ray Charles, and Dizzy Gillespie, and has also appeared at the world’s leading jazz festivals.

This evening will offer an atmosphere of blues and jazz, filled with groove, swing, and the live energy of improvisation. A rare and unforgettable encounter awaits us—one that happens only once.

Immerse yourself in a night where the blues speaks, whispers, and cries out—the blues of love, longing, and freedom. The music will take us on a journey beyond time and borders.
