Kira Martini har de seneste år etableret sig som en stærk stemme på den danske jazzscene. Hun kendes ved sit inderlige udtryk, alsidige repertoire og umiddelbarhed. I 2023 modtog hun Palæ Bar Jazzpris, tidligere tildelt kunstnere som Hugo Rasmussen, Ed Thigpen, Kenny Drew, m.fl. og i 2024 fik hun sammen med duoen Dybfølt, P2 prisen – for et af årets 5 bedste albums.

En af Kira’s faste makkere er den allestedsnærværende pianist Mads Søndergaard. De to har spillet utallige jobs sammen i forskellige konstellationer, og kender hinanden til benet. Programmet bliver bredt, man ved aldrig hvad der kan ske, men vi skal helt sikkert en tur forbi Brasilien og Frankrig.
