Info for One Endless Night

The debut album from jazz singer Anna Margolina is a personal remembrance of her immigration story from Minsk to Berlin. After 30 years since her arrival, the album shares Anna`s experience of abandonment and loneliness, the search for new identity and a sense of belonging, the conflict with the demons of her past and the redeeming kindness of strangers along the way. The transformative episodes of her life are to be heard in these 8 moving and melody-driven pieces, composed and arranged by fellow world wanderer Conor Cantrell and beautifully framed by the musical talents of Kenneth Berkel (piano), Lisa Buchholz (flugelhorn), Hendrik Nehls (bass) and David Guy (drums). More than ever, there is need for a hopeful story of arrival. “One Endless Night” is supported by Initiative Musik and released in June 2023 at XJAZZ!Music.

"Anna Margolina interprets these songs with incredible suggestiveness. Her excellent voice, warm, ethereal timbre, pulse, passion and phenomenal sense of rhythm make this a great listen. The accompanying musicians bring in jazzy freedom, improvisational elements and a contemporary sound aura. Everything fits together here. The result is beautiful, touching music between genres and cultures. A wonderful album, we are thrilled!" (jazz-fun.de)

Anna Margolina
was born in Minsk into a family of musicians and artists. She has lived in Berlin since 1992, received her first singing lessons at the age of 16. Her own ensemble emerged in 2015 with which she has been performing sold-out concerts ever since. As a guest soloist, Anna toured with the Andrej Hermlin Swing Dance Orchestra for a year and sang 1930s hits at the Konzerthaus Dortmund, Philharmonie Berlin, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Nikolaisaal Potsdam, and Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt. In her own programs, she increasingly focuses on contemporary sounds. At the end of the pandemic, the band toured 15 cities and Anna produced a jazz show on YouTube (OFSN) with pianist Kenneth Berkel. In her debut album “One Endless Night” (2023 XJAZZ! Music), the singer tells the moving story of her emigration from Minsk to Berlin. Her second studio album “Song Of A Girl” (2026 XJAZZ! Music) is dedicated to a poetess. The quartet had been invited to perform at renowned venues, including the Black Forest Festival, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, ZigZag Jazzclub, Jewish-Israeli Culture Days Erfurt, The Orange Room by Jazzradio Berlin, Jazzfestival Lech in Austria, and many more. "Considering the band's sound, one could easily have dreamed oneself into a bygone era of jazz: to a New York club lounge, while people dance and drink cocktails. You could almost wait for Frank Sinatra to mingle with the audience with a glass of whiskey and the singer to lie down on the piano." – Jazz Radio Berlin
