She is one of Germany's biggest TV and movie stars. When the German-Iranian actress Jasmin Tabatabai appears in front of the camera in the ZDF series "Letzte Spur Berlin" as detective Mina Amiri, millions watch. The ratings hit celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2021 and is now in its 13th season.
In December 2022, Tabatabai was seen in the RBB crime series "Das Opfer" alongside Mark Waschke as investigator Sara Taghavi. Jasmin Tabatabai became known to a younger target group through the ARD series "Asbest". "Asbest", in which she plays the mother of the main character Momo, broke the record as the best start for a media library series at the beginning of this year with three million views in the first few days.
start of a media library series.
But the versatile actress also knows how to inspire as a singer. She made her singing debut as a rock singer in the blockbuster "Bandits", together with Katja Riemann and Nicolette Krebitz. The cult film had almost one million viewers, and the soundtrack, which consists largely of songs by Jasmin Tabatabai, not only became the best-selling German soundtrack with over 700,000 copies sold, but is also the best-selling soundtrack of a European cinema film.
For "Eine Frau", her first CD as a jazz and chanson singer, Tabatabai was awarded an Echo-Jazz from a standing start and her gripping live performances captivate audiences and press alike. There is talk of "music full of magic and lightness", of a singer who "sensitively, stylishly and pointedly creates moods".
The Süddeutsche Zeitung mentions Tabatabai in the same breath as Marlene Dietrich and Hildegard Knef: "There are these voices that you recognize immediately, they simply have that certain something that burns itself into your acoustic memory forever".
Her third CD "Jagd auf Rehe" was released in 2020. Diversity is the magic word. Jasmin Tabatabai and her musical partner, Swiss musician, composer and producer David Klein, are also committed to this premise with their latest program and the production of their third CD together. There is no stylistic boundary that is not broken, no genre that is not explored.
However, this does not mean that arbitrariness prevails. On the contrary, the creative team of Tabatabai/Klein acts according to Kurt Weill's refreshing credo: "I have never recognized the difference between 'serious' and 'light' music, there is only good and bad music". Jasmin Tabatabai describes it like this: "I am an artist and allow myself to express myself in the most diverse facets."
The audience can look forward to a meditative version of Schubert's "Ständchen" as well as radical reinterpretations of "River Man" (Nick Drake) and "Why" (Annie Lennox). A soulful interpretation of "Sei mal verliebt" (Hildegard Knef/Cole Porter) in three-four time will find its place, as will "Schlafen gehen", a completely unknown gem by castle actor and children's book author Martin Auer, Jasmin Tabatabai's composition "Anymore" and David Klein's setting of the impressionistic text "Zeit für Lyrik" by slam poet Sebastian 23.
A Reinhard Mey song has been a cherished tradition since Tabatabai's first CD and a tribute to the congenial Berlin singer-songwriter. This time he is represented with "Männer im Baumarkt". Tabatabai and Klein don't even stop at an almost heretical cover of the Beatles hit "Hey Jude". It almost goes without saying that Tabatabai sings "La Rose" in French. The CD title track "Shekare Ahoo" (German: Jagd auf Rehe), which the Tehran-born Tabatabai sings in Persian, has a burning topicality due to the protests in Iran, which are mainly supported by women. The fragile intimacy, the moody mischievousness and the exorbitant joy of Jasmin Tabatabai, who is supported by her accomplished accompanists, pianist Olaf Polziehn (Patty
Austin), bassist John Goldsby and drummer Hans Dekker (both WDR Big Band), but also fueled with merciless grooves and caressed by saxophonist Klein with expressive solos, was captured on CD by renowned sound magician Daniel Dettwiler with the most exquisite analog technology in perfect sonic beauty.
In this reduced format, Tabatabai's smoky timbre comes into its own and the idiosyncratic accompaniment of the David Klein Quartet lends an additional tart note to her multi-layered interpretations. Plato described music as a "moral law that gives our hearts a soul, gives wings to our thoughts, allows the imagination to blossom and gives life to everything".
