"Cool – soft – groovy and touching" is how the Githe Christensen Quintet characterizes its diverse repertoire. The repertoire ranges from jazzy standards to Latin American beats to bluesy shuffles. Original compositions by Githe Christensen are naturally included in every concert.

The group was founded by Githe Christensen (vocals, compositions) and Thomas Fahrer (drums) in Denmark in 1982. Since then, the project has existed across borders with a changing lineup. The Githe Christensen Quintet is currently completed by Beat Gersbach (piano), Bernd Heyder (trumpet, flugelhorn, tuba), and Samuel Kühni (double bass).

​The new CD “SIESTA” is now available. Recorded in the HKB studio in Bern, together with the brilliant Benoit Piccand at the desk, the compositions by Githe Christensen and a few standards by Bill Evans and Charles Mingus shine!
