Simin Tander 代表了欧洲爵士乐坛的新一代声音——神秘、节奏多变、优美含蓄但强而有力的音乐。德国及阿富汗裔的 Simin Tander 是组合的主音歌手，她广阔的音域能够唱出动听的《无言故事》，除了拥有淳厚的音色外，她亦擅长以不同的语言演绎当下的歌词，有时甚至创造出她特有个性的演绎风格。她拥有极强的表演力以及唱作人细致的自由即兴，并往往在乐曲中加入一点神秘的东方感性。组合中四位乐手创意洋溢，各显所长且和谐得体，把乐曲演奏到近乎完美的效果。
Simin Tander 认为“音乐是她表现自我的神圣空间”。过去几年 Simin Tander被邀请在多个重要的舞台演出，包括北海爵士乐节、德国的女性爵士乐节(Women In Jazz Festival)、 Jazzahead 及荷兰的 Music Meeting 等，她也为德国两部出名的电影配乐、录音。
The Simin Tander Quartet represents a new sound in the European jazz landscape: mysterious, surprising, rhythmically varying and tenderly beautiful but at the same time strong and very pointy. This German-Afghan leader of the quartet sings “stories without words,” purely using her voice and a very broad palette of sounds.
Besides her richness in sounds, she also uses contemporary lyrics in different languages and sometimes even creates her very personal “fantasy language”. Expressive, free improvisation united with delicate singer-songwriter elements with a hint of oriental mysticism are characteristics of her style. The Simin Tander Quartet reveals four creative musicians that form a well balanced union; each with his own voice and ability to express it within Simin’s compositions. “Music is an almost sacred space in which I can be ME,” says Miss Tander.
