Come What May

LP (Vinyl) / Digital / Hi-Res · XJM26002 · 61:25

With "Come What May", singer Marc Secara, saxophonist Peter Weniger and pianist Wolfgang Köhler reach back to a tradition that has grown rare: the Great American Songbook of Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and Rodgers & Hart. Rather than reinterpreting the classics, Köhler and Canadian lyricist Mike Segal wrote all twelve pieces from scratch, crafted with the same meticulous care that once defined the golden age of that songwriting craft. The result is a collection of songs of poignant poetry, brimming with harmonic and melodic sophistication and subtle emotion. Secara, a professor of jazz and pop voice and founder of the Berlin Jazz Orchestra, delivers the material with the elegance of a true crooner, while Weniger and Köhler frame him with chamber-like precision. A timeless homage to the art of the perfectly built song: warm, cultivated and entirely conceived in the spirit of classic jazz singing.

Marc Secara

Berlin-based jazz and pop vocalist, leader of the Berlin Jazz Orchestra, whose "Come What May" continues the songbook tradition.

Marc Secara was born in Bad Harzburg and raised in Bavaria, where he founded his first band at 15. He studied jazz and pop vocals at the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin and received an IASJ scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Since 2000 he has worked with his own big band, the Berlin Jazz Orchestra under Jiggs Whigham; in 2001 he became the first Western artist in 20 years allowed to tour Iran, winning Best Artist at the Fadjr Festival. Since 2013 he has been professor of voice at the SRH University of Popular Arts Berlin. His album "Come What May" (2026, XJAZZ!
